The Bureau of Emigration has introduced a new requirement for Pakistanis traveling to the United Arab Emirates (UAE) for employment. From now on, individuals seeking UAE employment visas must obtain a police character certificate before their departure.
Why the New Requirement?
This condition has been implemented following several complaints to ensure better compliance with regulations. The certificate will serve as proof of the applicant’s clean record, fostering trust between employers in the UAE and Pakistani workers.
Official Statement
Adnan Paracha, Vice Chairman of the Pakistan Overseas Employment Promoters Association, stated:
“Obtaining a police character certificate is now mandatory for job seekers heading to the UAE. We welcome this decision, as it ensures credibility and reliability for Pakistani workers abroad.”
How to Get a Police Character Certificate?
To meet this requirement, applicants must visit their local police station or a designated government office to apply for the certificate. Key documents typically include:
- A valid CNIC
- Passport copy
- Proof of address
Positive Impact on Overseas Employment
The move is expected to enhance the reputation of Pakistani workers in the UAE job market. It aims to strengthen employer-employee relationships and reduce potential issues related to fraudulent activities or misconduct.
Final Thoughts
The introduction of the police character certificate for UAE employment visas aligns with international practices. It represents a step forward in improving the global perception of Pakistani workers and ensuring smoother employment processes abroad.
