These 5 Countries Easily Take Immigrants from Pakistan

 

A great number of Pakistan nationals want to migrate to a foreign country. Some want better lifestyle while some seek for better job opportunities. After they have arranged the financial resources to implement their plan, the biggest obstacle in their way is disapproval of visa. You want to go abroad but does your destination want to take you?

Pakistani passport is currently second worst passport of the world with Afghanistan in first position. It was declared second worst based on the view of world and immigration destinations. For some reason people and governments don’t want Pakistanis in their country. In my one of my articles, I have discussed How Pakistani Passport Became Second Worst of the World.

So the question is, if world doesn’t want you living in their country where can Pakistani national migrate? Between all these dislikes and inferiority, some countries are still lenient when it comes to taking the immigrants. These countries, despite what the world says, accept foreigners and offer opportunities you can say for the good will or for the personal benefits. Here I have shared the countries that easily take immigrants from Pakistan.


1 -   Saudi Arabia

Saudi Arabian visa is by far the easiest visa to get for Pakistani nationals. Saudi Arabia is a religious country so they prefer Muslims and in addition they have very good relations and friendship with Pakistan. However, their visa procedure is a little different from other countries. You don’t get visa from Pakistan but someone in Saudi Arabia gets it for you. The one that can get you visa has to be a Saudi national and he/ she will be your insurance. This person is called Kafeel.

Kafeel will basically get you work and visa. My friend, Adeel Latif, whose whole family is living in Saudi Arabia told me that Kafeel is like your owner, he can cancel your visa anytime and is like your owner. No one will be your Kafeel unless they get some benefits in it. You have to pay a percentage of your income to Kafeel in addition to high tax you have to pay to government.

You have plenty of opportunities to work in Saudi Arabia but you can forget living their permanently. They will let your family in only if you have enough financial resources to afford their living. You will also have to pay tax for each individual which is about 16 thousand riyal. “You should ready to pay approximately 20 lac for your living if you earn 50 lac there”, says Adeel Latif, a Pakistani national that has lived in Saudi Arabia. Even with the strict rules, approximately 15 lac Pakistani nationals are currently living in Saudi Arabia because of work opportunities.


2 -   The United Arab Emirates

This Arab country is always looking for labor from foreign countries of course they are very rich to be working themselves. As there are always opportunities for work, every year thousands of people from Asia region particularly from Pakistan, Bangladesh and India go there. You can definitely get work there and without a doubt earn many times more than what you could get in your own.

Because of their workers need, their visa is very easy to get. If you are potential employee, no one will stop you from going there.
