UAE issues stapled visa to PaK residents

PRESS TRUST OF INDIA

Islamabad, May 5: The United Arab Emirates has begun issuing stapled visas to Pakistan-administered Kashmir residents, including its Prime Minister Sardar Attique Ahmed, a media report said today.
The practice of issuing stapled visas is new and previously visas were stamped as usual on the passports, the Pakistan Observer newspaper reported today.
PaK Prime Minister Sardar Attique Ahmed Khan, who holds a Pakistani diplomatic passport, was issued a stapled visit visa by the UAE Embassy in Islamabad on Tuesday, the report said. China had sparked a diplomatic row with India last year by issuing stapled visas to residents of Jammu and Kashmir.
