The UAE government bans entry into Emirates for passports holder with a single name on it. Pakistan’s Serene Air said that the UAE government has updated its naming guidelines. This update does not allow the person in UAE with a single name and no other name on their passport.
Pakistan to UAE is the busiest air route. As UAE is the second largest country for immigrants. According to South Asian accounts, around 1.6 million are an expatriate community in the UAE.
South Asian carriers said passengers with a single name in the first name and last name category are not allowed in UAE.
However, UAE authorities will allow passengers holding permanent visas and residence permits with a single-name passport. These passports just need an update in the first and last name columns.
Likewise, the Australian Government also issued a report on Wednesday. The report said that the passenger should have at least two-word names in the name category.
As the UAE government doesn’t allow passengers with a single name passport, Indian Airlines also advised passengers for correcting names on passport.
