What is a POC?

The Pakistan Origin Card (POC) program is designed to encourage eligible foreigners of Pakistani origin to stay connected to their heritage while maintaining a strong bond with the homeland. The POC offers several benefits for expatriates who hold this card, including:

  • Multiple Free Entries into Pakistan: Enjoy unrestricted entry into Pakistan without the need for visas.
  • Indefinite Stay: Remain in Pakistan without the obligation to report to police stations or foreigners’ registration offices.
  • Property Rights: Freedom to purchase, sell, own, and manage both movable and immovable property anywhere in Pakistan.
  • Banking Access: The ability to open and operate bank accounts in Pakistan.
  • Fast-Track Immigration: Experience expedited immigration at all designated routes, ports, and entry points.
  • Proof of Identity: Use the POC as a valid form of identification in place of a National Identity Card.
  • Employment Eligibility: Access to job opportunities within Pakistan.

The POC serves as a bridge between Pakistan and its global community, offering privileges that make it easier for expatriates to visit, live, and invest in their country of origin.
