It is indeed a sad news that UAE has declined entry to Pakistanis holding hand written passports.I am sure UAE must have issued notices to foreign ministries of other countries before implementing this order. However it is great news that Pakistani Embassy has the machine for MRPs. I hope its true.
I agree with the learned member that for the time being Pakistani Embassy should establish a channel with Islamabad or any nearest location (e.g. Riyadh)for issuing MRPs.
Once again another riddle to solve for the non-resident Pakistanis in Doha.
