What does Pakistan’s general work-visa application require for a foreign hire?

The general work-visa route requires a valid job offer. For employment by a company, the official checklist requires an employment letter from an SECP-registered company showing salary and assignment duration, or company sponsorship/guarantee documentation, alongside passport and photograph.

Applies to: Pakistan general work-visa applications; approval and EOR sponsorship eligibility are not automatic

For your hire: Nationality, legal employer, visa category, supporting documents and approval before work
