Someone is offering me a work permit for a fee. Is that normal?

No. A real employer sponsors you because they want your labour; they do not sell the permit. If money is being asked for the offer itself, the document is forged, the job does not exist, or both. Send it to us and we will tell you which.

Do I need my degree attested?

For most skilled routes, yes, and the order matters — HEC, then MOFA, then the destination's embassy. Doing it out of order means paying twice. We set out the exact sequence for your destination before you start.

What is Protector of Emigrants clearance?

It is the Pakistani government's own check on workers leaving for employment, and for most destinations it is compulsory. Travelling without it where it is required puts you outside the protection you are entitled to abroad.

QUICK ANSWER

How do I get a work visa from Pakistan, and how does ApkaVisa help?

A work visa rests on a genuine offer from an employer abroad, so we check the employer and the offer before you pay us anything, then file around it: the contract, attestation in the right order, a skills assessment where the trade needs one, and Protector of Emigrants clearance. Our fee depends on the destination, the trade and how much of the attestation we handle, and government charges are passed on exactly as charged, itemised in writing. If an offer is not real, we tell you.

Ask about your case

What we actually do

Work Visa, handled properly

A work visa rests on one thing: a genuine employer who actually wants you. We file the application around that offer — contract, qualifications, experience letters, attestation — and we will tell you plainly when what you have been shown is not real.

Who this is for

The people who come to us for work visas

If one of these sounds like you, the first conversation is free and you will get a straight answer.

Skilled trades
Electricians, welders, drivers, technicians — you have the trade and an employer who wants you, and the file has to prove both to a mission that sees forgeries daily.
That’s me — message us
Healthcare and IT
Your qualification needs recognising abroad before the visa will follow, and the licensing step is the one people discover too late.
That’s me — message us
Gulf employment
You have a contract from an employer in the Gulf and need attestation, Protector clearance and the visa handled in the right order.
That’s me — message us

Somebody has shown you a job offer and asked for money. Before you pay anyone, send it to us and we will tell you what it actually is.

Step by step

How working with us goes

No stage of this is a mystery. You always know what has happened, what is next, and what it costs.

STAGE 01
We look at the offer first
Send us whatever you have been given. Before anything else we establish whether the employer exists, the role is real, and the visa route is open to you.
STAGE 02
Qualify the file
Degree, experience letters, licences and language tests measured against the destination's actual requirement rather than a generic checklist.
STAGE 03
Attestation and submission
Documents attested in the right sequence, forms completed, fees paid and the application tracked through to a decision.
STAGE 04
Departure
Protector stamp where it applies, then flights and arrival arranged. You travel on a visa that matches the job you are actually going to.

Worth knowing

What usually goes wrong

These are the mistakes we see most often with work visas — whether you use us or handle it yourself.

Paying for the offer
Paying a fee for the job offer itself. A real employer sponsors you because they want your labour — they do not sell the permit.
Letters written to fit
Experience letters written to match the job rather than the work actually done. These are verified by phone more often than people expect.
Attestation out of order
Attestation done out of order, which means paying for the whole chain twice.
Skipping Protector clearance
Travelling without Protector of Emigrants clearance where the destination requires it, which removes the protection you are entitled to abroad.
An unread contract
Accepting a contract nobody has read to you in a language you are comfortable in.
What it costs
Our fee depends on the destination, the trade and how much of the attestation chain we handle. Government charges — attestation, Protector, embassy and medical — are fixed by the bodies that levy them and we pass them on exactly as charged, itemised in writing before you commit.

No. We are not a recruiter and we do not have jobs to give. We prepare the visa application once you have a genuine offer. Anyone selling you a foreign job offer for a fee is committing a fraud that ends with you carrying the ban.
