ISLAMABAD: Pakistani citizens going abroad for employment have been instructed to beware of unauthorized agents and fraudsters operating in the name of protector registration.
The Bureau of Immigration and Overseas Employment has warned citizens not to trust people claiming to charge extra money, grant expedited clearance or hold passports and original documents in the name of the Protector of Immigrants.
Protector registration is mandatory for Pakistani nationals traveling abroad on employment or work visas, but this process can only be completed through prescribed official procedures. For this purpose it is necessary to approach the approved e-protector system or the official office of the concerned Protectorate of Emigrants.
The Bureau has warned citizens not to trust any person posing as a representative of the Protector's Office or an internal agent offering expedited registration or clearance for extra money, insisting on keeping passports or asking for service charges in addition to government fees. Similarly, claiming protector clearance without complete documentation can also be fraudulent.
It has been mentioned in this passage that the Protector of Immigrants has nothing to do with such unauthorized agents, so citizens should avoid handing over their passports, identity cards, visas, employment contracts and other original documents to any unrelated person.
