Introduction to Corporate Immigration
Javid Law Associates delivers comprehensive corporate immigration and expatriate relocation services for international enterprises operating in Pakistan. Our specialized advisory ensures seamless legal entry, work visa approvals, and residency documentation for foreign executives, technical experts, and investors establishing operations following initial company registration in Pakistan.
Regulatory Framework & Authorities
Managing corporate immigration requires precise alignment with national regulatory bodies. We coordinate extensively with the Board of Investment (BOI), the Ministry of Interior, and regional immigration authorities to secure work permits, business visas, and security clearances. These procedures run parallel to corporate filings with the SECP and tax enrolment with the FBR.
| Immigration Stage | Primary Authority | Standard Timeline |
|---|---|---|
| Business Visa Recommendation | Board of Investment (BOI) | 2 to 3 weeks |
| Work Visa & Permit Processing | Ministry of Interior | 4 to 6 weeks |
| Alien Registration Card (ARC) | National Database & Registration Authority | 1 to 2 weeks |
