Islamabad: (RightNow) Pakistani citizens can now verify overseas job details and legality through the Bureau of Immigration’s online portal. This service is available on the official website and Facebook page, providing information on positions advertised by licensed recruiting agencies.

Under the Immigration Rules 1979, the Protector of Emigrants grants recruitment permission for a specific period. Job demand verification is conducted through host countries and Pakistani embassies.

According to officials, a permission tracking number is issued after recruitment approval. Recruiting agencies must include this number in job advertisements.

This initiative will help reduce the risks of illegal recruitment. Candidates should verify job approval and the PTN.

It is important to note that candidates can verify jobs on the Bureau of Immigration’s website, reducing the risk of fake advertisements.
