Rumours claiming that the UAE is cancelling residency visas for people from certain countries have been circulating online in recent days, prompting questions and speculation across social media.

Emirati diplomat Anwar Gargash has now addressed the claims directly, describing them as false.

He said the UAE remains focused on dealing with regional developments and on what comes next, rather than on the speculation spreading online.

Residents are advised to rely on official government channels for any information regarding residency and visa procedures.
