Gulf Markets Close for Pakistani Labour, Indians Take the Lead

Описание: Dive into the shocking stats: 10.7 million Pakistanis abroad in 2024, mostly clogging up Saudi Arabia and the UAE, but their share in the UAE plummeted to just 4% in Q1 2025. Why? Visa bans, mass deportations, and constant scrutiny—moves other groups like Indians and Filipinos largely escape. We reveal how Pakistanis face unique restrictions, from Kuwait’s 2011–2021 visa ban to Saudi’s 2017 deportation of 40,000 for crimes and terror links. Security fears dominate—Pakistan’s ties to terrorism, like the 2016 Jeddah bombing, and their staggering 50% share of UAE labor crimes, including filming women illegally, have Gulf states on edge. Add in scams like 90% of Saudi’s beggars being Pakistani, and it’s clear why they’re seen as troublemakers.
