UAE Visa Cancellation Reports Trigger Warning Over Fake News
Residents in the UAE are being urged to be careful about unverified information circulating online about UAE visa cancellation.
The rumours claim that the country is cancelling workers’ residency visas. However, UAE Presidential Adviser Anwar Gargash has rejected the claims, saying they are incorrect. He also dismissed reports that the UAE is providing financial facilities to Iran.
Gargash said some platforms were spreading false information about the UAE at a time when the country is dealing with major regional developments.
The warning comes as tensions in the Gulf remain high. The UAE has recently announced a suspension of trade, commercial exchanges and financial transactions with Iran following a reported missile incident. Iran has denied launching the missiles.
There is currently no confirmed announcement of a blanket cancellation of workers’ residency visas based on the claims addressed by Gargash.
Residents should avoid relying on messages shared through social media or messaging apps unless the information comes from an official government source.
Anyone concerned about their own visa status should check their individual records through the relevant UAE government channels rather than relying on posts or forwarded messages.
The latest clarification is a reminder that residents should verify important information before sharing it. False reports can create confusion at a time when people are already closely following developments across the region.
