The Wafaqi Mohtasib, Ejaz Ahmad Qureshi intervened to resolve the long-standing issue of affixing of e-protector stamp on the passports of Pakistanis intending to proceed abroad for employment or higher education. As a result, Bureau of Immigration has now started online e-protector facility, which is also available at the airports.
It may be noted that it is obligatory for all those travelling to middle eastern or other countries for employment to get the protector stamps affixed on their passports; otherwise, they will not be granted permission to travel abroad and many had to return from the airports due to its non-availability.
On the directions of the Wafaqi Mohtasib online e-protector stamp facility is now available at all international airports of the country on 24/7 basis so that a protector stamp may be affixed on the passports of anyone desirous of going abroad who might have forgotten to get his passport stamped. During this year, 14,339 Pakistanis have already availed this facility till date.
