<b>ISLAMABAD : The British High Commission (BHC) in Pakistan is planning to relocate its visa section to Dubai owing to security concerns, diplomatic sources said on Wednesday.</b>

The sources said plans for such a move had been in the pipeline for quite sometime now due to rising threats by Al Qaeda and Taliban militants against Western citizens and installations in the country, but the process was expedited only after the terrorist attack on the Danish embassy in early June.

BHC spokesperson Aidan Liddle admitted that it had been proposed to move some of the office’s administrative staff to the UAE, but denied that the move was due to security concerns.

Liddle said it was an administrative issue and should only be treated as such. He added that the move was part of a plan to create visa hubs in various parts of the world where visa applications could be processed.
