Overview of Foreign Work Permits
Javid Law Associates provides comprehensive support for securing work permits for foreign nationals intending to work in Pakistan. Navigating the Board of Investment (BOI) guidelines and the Ministry of Interior requirements is complex. We simplify this process for multinational corporations and foreign investors, ensuring all regulatory hurdles are cleared seamlessly.
Regulatory Framework and Authorities
The issuance of work permits is primarily governed by the Board of Investment (BOI) in coordination with the Ministry of Interior. Entities must be properly registered with the SECP to sponsor foreign employees. Compliance with tax laws via FBR and maintaining valid corporate status is mandatory.
| Phase | Key Responsibility |
|---|---|
| Documentation | Collation of educational and professional credentials |
| BOI Application | Submission to BOI for recommendation |
| Visa Processing | Ministry of Interior approval and visa stamping |
