Pakistanis deported from Saudi Arabia and other countries face growing challenges due to visa violations and labor law breaches. Saudi Arabia, UAE, Canada, and other nations have taken strict action, sending over 100 Pakistani nationals back home.
Saudi Arabia Leads in Deportations
Saudi authorities deported 42 Pakistani nationals for various legal violations. Among them:
- 13 individuals were caught begging.
- Five overstayed their visas.
- 16 violated employment contracts.
- 23 left jobs without informing their sponsors.
The Kafala system played a key role, as 13 deportees had no legal sponsor. Saudi labor laws require foreign workers to have an official sponsor. Those who violate this rule often face deportation and blacklisting.
UAE, Canada, and Iraq Enforce Immigration Laws
Other countries also took action against illegal stays and visa violations:
- Canada deported one Pakistani for overstaying a visa.
- Iraq deported seven individuals for living without legal permission.
- The UAE deported one Pakistani due to incomplete documentation.
- Nine individuals were sent back after completing jail terms.
- Oman and Somaliland deported three blacklisted people.
These deportations show strict enforcement of immigration laws across multiple countries.
Travel Issues at Karachi Airport
Authorities at Karachi Airport stopped 47 Pakistani travelers due to documentation issues. Among them:
- Three were blacklisted individuals.
- Many were trying to travel to the UK, Turkey, and Saudi Arabia.
- 19 Umrah pilgrims lacked hotel bookings and financial proof.
- Other passengers had visa inconsistencies for Thailand, Malaysia, and South Africa.
Strict travel rules have made it harder for Pakistanis to go abroad without proper documentation.
A Need for Awareness and Legal Support
These deportations highlight the need for better awareness of visa rules and labor laws. Many workers and travelers face problems due to a lack of legal guidance. Stronger support systems and better information can help prevent such issues in the future.
