15 New Initiatives Announced for Overseas Pakistanis

Shehbaz Sharif launched an incentive package for Pakistanis living abroad on his final day in office to give them better services and support.

Shehbaz wrote on Twitter that this package intends to improve their relationship with Pakistan and make dealings with various organisations easier.

Here are all the programmes for Pakistanis living abroad.

Hotlines will be established under the Chief Secretaries in each province and the Chief Commissioner in Islamabad to address property issues of Overseas Pakistanis.
In order to hasten the adjudication of property disputes for Overseas Pakistanis, specialised courts will be established in ICT and all of Pakistan’s provinces.

In all public housing programmes, a 10% quota will be reserved for overseas Pakistanis, who will also receive a 5% discount if they pay with foreign currency and through a banking channel.
All other provinces will adopt the effective Punjab Overseas Pakistanis Commission (POPC) model.

At each international airport in the nation, specialised immigration counters would be set up to assist and recognise Pakistanis living abroad.
Based on information gathered by the State Bank of Pakistan, awards will be given to the Top Ten remitters among Pakistanis living abroad.
In order to recognise and honour famous Pakistanis who have lived abroad for their services and accomplishments, Pakistan Missions abroad will establish a Hall of Fame.
National Savings Schemes for Overseas Pakistanis will be made available by the Central Directorate of National Savings and would include attractive interest rates.

There will be more NADRA and passport facilitation counters at Pakistani embassies and missions abroad.
After a predetermined period of time, blacklisted passports will automatically be removed from the list.

The online document attestation procedure will be improved and optimised by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA).

In order to facilitate document attestation and related services, MOFA will open camp offices in regions of Pakistan where there is a considerable population of Pakistanis living abroad.

Overseas Pakistanis will be subject to online biometric authentication for transactions including pensions, bank accounts, and real estate.

To make it easier for Overseas Pakistanis to get marriage, divorce, birth, and death certificates, NADRA’s system would be linked with Union Councils.

In public sector higher education institutions, 5% of the seats will be earmarked for the children of expatriate Pakistanis, who will also be eligible for need-based and merit-based scholarships.
