Thousands of Bangladeshi Workers Stranded After UAE Cancels Visas Abruptly
Nearly 5,000 Bangladeshi expatriates are stranded in Bangladesh after the UAE abruptly cancelled their visas without explanation, affecting workers who returned home on leave. The Bangladesh government has engaged diplomatically with the UAE to seek a review. The cancellations, which began in July, also impacted some Pakistani nationals. Many affected workers rely on remittances sent from the UAE, a key source of income for their families. Efforts are ongoing to resolve the situation and provide support to those impacted.
