In a significant move to streamline travel procedures for Pakistanis, Wafaqi Mohtasib, Mr. Ejaz Ahmad Qureshi, has successfully resolved the long-standing issue of affixing e-protector stamps on passports. The Bureau of Immigration and Overseas Employment has launched an online e-protector facility, now available at airports, following Mr. Qureshi’s intervention ¹.
This development is particularly beneficial for individuals traveling to Middle Eastern countries or other destinations for employment or higher education. Previously, obtaining the required protector stamps was mandatory, and failure to do so resulted in travelers being denied permission to travel abroad, with many forced to return from airports due to its unavailability.
The online e-protector stamp facility aims to alleviate these issues, ensuring a smoother and more efficient travel experience for Pakistanis. This initiative demonstrates the Wafaqi Mohtasib’s commitment to addressing grievances and improving services for citizens.
