The Future of Passports and Visas: Pakistan’s New Authority Unveiled!

Описание: The federal government of Pakistan is set to revolutionise its immigration and passport services by establishing a new, independent authority.

The proposed "Pakistan Immigration, Passport, and Visa Authority Act 2024" aims to address the severe financial and administrative issues plaguing the Directorate General of Immigration and Passport.

Currently managing 223 domestic offices and 93 international missions, the Directorate faces major challenges, including a massive budget shortfall of 13.13 billion rupees for 2023-24 and recent passport forgery scandals.

The new authority will manage its own revenue, streamlining operations and improving service delivery. This shift could impact the federal budget and has raised questions about its potential effects on national security and public services.

Dive into how this major change could transform Pakistan’s immigration and passport system and what it means for you.
