UAE to suspend issuance of all entry visas as virus impact deepens - Arabianbusiness:
The UAE on Saturday announced it is temporarily suspending the issuance of all entry visas from Tuesday except for those holders of diplomatic passports.
The move will be effective from March 17 but does not apply to anyone who has already been granted a visa before that date.
In a statement carried by state news agency WAM, the Federal Authority For Identity and Citizenship said the move was taken as a precautionary measure to contain the spread of coronavirus and is in response to the World Health Organisation declaring the novel coronavirus outbreak.
The authority added that the decision will be effective until countries of departure activate a mechanism for medical screening of passengers as an additional measure.
