Islamabad: Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has directed the establishment of separate immigration counters for foreign travelers at all of Pakistan’s international airports to enhance their travel experience. According to a press release from the PM Office Media Wing on Saturday, this decision aims to boost tourism and simplify the immigration process for international visitors.
Promoting Tourism and Investment: The initiative is also designed to ensure the smooth continuation of trade activities and to make it easier for foreign investors to visit and conduct business in Pakistan. The press release stated, “The decision has been taken to promote tourism in Pakistan, ensure continuity in business activities, and provide further facilitation to foreign investment.”
Improved Travel Experience: The new separate immigration queues are expected to not only reduce processing times for foreigners but also, as a secondary benefit, speed up the clearance for returning Pakistani citizens. This move is part of the government’s wider strategy to make Pakistan a more attractive and welcoming destination for global tourists, investors, and business delegations.
