Get Visa Protector with Ease in Pakistan 2023

Visa protection is a mandatory registration for a Pakistani going abroad on a work visa. The Bureau of Emigration & Overseas Employment has established protector offices in various cities where officials stamp your passport after completing this registration process.

You can’t leave the country without this visa protection. After this biometric process, you will be considered a registered Pakistani immigrant and may get all the benefits offered by the government. OPF membership and life insurance are the most beneficial steps for visa-protected Pakistani workers.
