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 platforms.

Emirati politician and diplomatic adviser 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 measures suggested by the online rumours.

Residents are advised to rely on official channels and government announcements for information about residency and visa procedures, rather than on unverified posts shared on social media.
