The UK is a popular destination for Pakistani workers. There are over one million Pakistanis currently living in the UK, many of whom have a Skilled Worker Visa.
In order to collect reliable data about emigration and combat illegal travel, the Pakistani Government has a rule in place that requires you to get what is known as a Protector stamp. The Protector is a stamp that is put on your passport to prove you have been allowed to leave Pakistan to work in a foreign country.
Pakistani airport personnel will not allow you to leave Pakistan if you do not have a passport with a Protector stamp.
Here are some of the documents required when applying for a Protector stamp:
- Valid passport
- Your Computerised National Identity Card (CNIC)
- Your visa work permit
- Your employment offer/contract
- An undertaking form (to ensure you would not become illegal in your destination country)
The Protector stamp will be a requirement for any Pakistani citizen who secures a job offer and sponsorship under the UK’s Skilled Worker Visa route.
