I want to gather information on how to get my Indian spouse a visa. I need your help because I am planning for the trip in May. I have tried the online visa application but its not recognising the Indian passport as its saying you cannot proceed with the application.

Hi all, I'm in the process of renewing my passport online, does anyone know how much it costs to be delivered to Australia? I'm doing the urgent category for 10 year validity 36 pages for reference

Pakistani people People who are celebrating Eid away from their family in another country or city, what do you miss most about home on Eid, and how do you cope with that? Additionally, how do you celebrate your Eid day, what activities do you engage in while being away from home, and from which region are you celebrating Eid?

Hey guys. So I'm going to be coming to Pakistan soon in about a week for my holidays, alot of my friends ha e asked for Prime, and honestly considering it's pretty cheap here. I feel like it'll be a very affordable gift to bring. I want to bring around 10-12 bottles if I can, but I keep hearing that customs in Pakistan will confiscate them since it'll be in bulk. Which is kinda absurd in my opinion because they are literally sport drinks, I was thinking of bringing them to my hand carry, but it seems they don't allow for liquids.

Can you guys give me any suggestions on how to bring them over? Or should I just leave them?

Flight Booking: I don't have first and last name on passport. I only have the surname. when I try to book the ticket it always asks for first and last name. and if I add half of the name as first name and 2nd half of the name as last name, then it will add the space in between my name. in this scenario, what should I do?

I think this problem sounds trivial but everyone I have met from Pakistan (some other South Asians countries as well) they have a bathroom slipping story. This is especially quite dangerous for our elderly and I know quite a lot of people who have actually suffered major injuries leading to fractures and even causing death. I believe not much is being said or done about it. Back in Europe, I saw how they are so good in keeping their floor dry, especially with shower curtains/ doors. In Pakistan, apart from the showers, the major source of water is also from the muslim shower/bidet and also when people make wudu water spills everywhere.

What are your thoughts about it? apart from installing a shower curtain what else can be done? And do you also have such slipping stories? please do share them

Salaam, I live in the UK and a lot of people who come from Pakistan and have a hard time here from people who have little to no education from those who are well educated from rich families rarely go back to Pakistan.

People will happily live in the poorest housing in the UK and will not go back to reside permently in Pakistan. My questions is why a lot of guys and girls go through really bad marriages get divorced and still dont go back to Pakistan.

Why ?? Wouldnt they want to be with their family. I get people in Pak will given them 'tanay' but still after you've been through a bad marriage wouldnt you want to go back to your parents and starts fresh ?

Hey everyone,

I'm reaching out to the Pakistani community as a Student for some urgent assistance. I must travel to Montenegro Urgently by end of this year!
Since there is no Montenegro Embassy in Pakistan, I'm facing the huge hurdle of visa process.

Does anyone know of any alternative ways for Pakistani Students to go to Montenegro?
Such as Schengen Visa or Serbian visa... would those allow me to go into Montenegro for 2 weeks or so?

Thank you all

I am applying for a POC for myself on spouse basis. My wife is a dual citizen with a Pakistani passport and a US passport. My wife's Pakistani passport is expired, but she has her NICOP.

In the POC spouse affidavit form, it is asking for her passport number and expiry date. Do I enter her US passport number there, or her Pakistani passport with the expiry date being in the past? Otherwise, do I need to renew her passport before finishing my application?

What to give in family & friend eid dawat? Eidi or gift? What the culture outside pak specially in germany

Hello.

My maternal grandfather passed away nearly four years ago, and my parents has procrastinated in getting the issue of inheritance sorted, so I've decided to step in.

From my understanding, she is set to inherit 1/4 of her father's land, 2/4 will go to her brother and 1/4 will go to her grandmother (the mother of my deceased grandfather).

Furthermore, my mother's share of the property is worth a significant amount according to a relative, however, most of her relatives (who are interested buyers) dispute and claim it's only worth £10k.

Also, her brother has started claiming in the local newspaper that my mother is "missing" (implying a presumption of death) since she hasn't stepped foot in Pakistan for decades, despite everyone knowing this is false since they have contacts with her.

For various reasons, my mother doesn't want to come to Pakistan so if we can get this matter sorted while we remain here in the UK, that would be preferable.

So I'm going to need a lawyer who can get confirm the valuation of her share, confirm that my mother is still alive and not "missing" and handle the inheritance process.

I'm pointing out the context, so if anybody can offer some alternative advice, that would be appreciated.

I have two questions to ask:

1. How can I find the proper valuation of her property? The website http://www.surveyofpakistan.gov.pk/ isn't working, so I'm unable to find a surveyor in Pakistan.
2. I found a couple of lawyers specialising in this matter, my question is, how can I find if they're genuine? What is the Pakistani equivalent of Solicitors Register, so I can verify if the firm is regulated by the government?

Thank you.

I have been using UBL Funds app to make sharia compliant investments and bow UBL have asked me to complete a CRS form. Anyone had any experience of this? I think its just to report whether I pay tax and they will probably stopped my investments for being a non tax filer I guess.

Also, any better investment apps for overseas Pakistani's?

I got him Pakistani passport and other country passport. But some people say they might ask for NICOP, which I am not able to make due to slow NADRA process (my mistake I applied online). So will it cause an issue? As someone told me that they may ask for it to confirm that he has been legally in Pakistan. If I do not get NICOP until my flight, Can the baby travel on the second passport to his second home?

Hey guys. I'm going to be coming back to Pakistan for a while since I'm doing my masters here in the UK. I had a question, I'm going to be bringing the usual stuff such as chocolates and some jewellery for my family and relatives.

But is there anything else you guys would recommend? Something that isn't too pricey but is also something that you won't get in Pakistan either.

My budget is around 200 pounds so I'll need to look at it from that angle.

Salaam everyone. I currently live in the UK, and have recently got married in Pakistan. My wife is from Pakistan so as in islamic traditions the lady leaves her family home and comes to live her husband as we all know but this is where the complications starts...

As she got married she had to update her nadra card to her husband's name/address (my Pk address) so then she could make a passport aswell with husband's name. I left Pakistan 7 days after I got married and then moved back to the UK.

Now I am trying to do a visa to bring her over and the visa application form is asking her current address which on her nadra card is my Pakistan address but atm there is nobody living there as she moved back with her mum so I cannot put she lives alone because no one would believe that. As I live in the village, on the address there isn't anything about door number etc only name of the village and all that meaning anyone living in the village/street has the same address and as my house is next door to my mum's mother, I was wondering just to put my Pakistan address down and tell them 2 people currently live there and she's living with my grandmother...?

Has anyone been through the same situation as me, please help as I am confused as hell.

Thanks in advance.

How was the experience? Did you take your clubs? Or was renting easy? Booking tee time, online, phone calls?

As the question says, I'm a golfer who has been seeing more and more content abt golf from Pakistan.

Looks like they have some really good looking courses and thanks to the exchange rate priced well too.

I'm planning on going to Pakistan this year and try to get some golf in.

Anyone here has experience golfing in Pakistan?
