Preparing to leave for an overseas job
Common questions
Do I need new Protector clearance when I change overseas jobs?
Yes. The Ministry of Overseas Pakistanis says a new job requires fresh Protector clearance from the relevant Protectorate of Emigrants office. Existing protection remains valid while the employment terms and conditions remain unchanged. [1]
How do I report a fake overseas recruitment agent?
Provide case details and supporting documents. The Ministry of Overseas Pakistanis’ guidance says complaints against fake recruiters who are not valid Overseas Employment Promoters are referred to the Federal Investigation Agency for action. [1]
Can I use a UK family visa to join someone on a temporary work or student visa?
If your family member is in the UK temporarily on a work or student visa, you cannot apply for a family visa. GOV.UK says you can apply to stay with them as a dependant instead. For a Student visa, check whether you can bring your partner or children as dependants. [7] [5]
What is the deadline for reviewing a UK visa refusal received outside the UK?
For an eligible refusal of entry clearance, apply for administrative review within 28 calendar days of receiving the decision notice. You must be outside the UK to apply. A late application may be accepted if the decision maker is satisfied that it would be unjust not to waive the deadline and that you applied as soon as reasonably practicable. Making another immigration or visa application cancels a pending review. [10] [11]
When should I apply to extend my Pakistan visa?
Punjab Home Department directs foreigners who need an extension to apply through the official online visa portal at least 30 days before expiry to avoid overstay penalties. [4]
