UAE Visa Ban, Bangladesh Also on The List

The United Arab Emirates (UAE) has officially placed Bangladesh on its 2026 visa ban list, effectively barring the citizens of the country from applying for tourist and work visas to the Gulf state.

The restriction is part of a broader list affecting nine countries, including Afghanistan, Libya, Yemen, Somalia, Lebanon, Uganda, Cameroon, and Sudan, according to a recent UAE immigration circular.

Nationals already living in the UAE with valid visas are not affected, and authorities have described the ban as temporary, although no date for lifting it has been confirmed.
