Immigration Laws
Immigration laws in Pakistan govern the entry, stay, and exit of foreign nationals, as well as the regulation of Pakistani citizens traveling abroad. These laws are crucial for maintaining national security, controlling population flow, and ensuring that foreign nationals comply with visa and residency requirements.
The primary law regulating immigration in Pakistan is the Foreigners Act, 1946, which empowers the government to control the movement, registration, and deportation of foreigners. In addition, the Passport Act, 1974 and Immigration Ordinance, 1979 are key legislations that regulate the issuance of passports, visas, entry permits, and immigration documentation.
These laws apply to various immigration matters such as:
Visa overstays and illegal entry
Undocumented migration
Deportation and blacklisting
Refugee and asylum matters
Immigration fraud and human smuggling
Work permits and business visas
The Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) is the primary body responsible for enforcing immigration laws in Pakistan. The Immigration Wing of FIA handles all immigration matters, including monitoring airports, land borders, seaports, and investigating immigration-related offenses.
