The government will establish separate immigration counters for foreign passengers at all international airports, a government declaration said on Saturday in a step aimed at increasing tourism and investment.
The initiative, which was introduced on the instructions of Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, is designed to promote tourism, ensuring the smooth flow of trade and easy foreign investment.
Officials said the dedicated counters will help reduce immigration processing times, making the journey more convenient for international visitors. The event is also expected to shorten procedures for recurring Pakistani citizens as passenger currents will be separated.
“This measure is part of the government’s wider strategy to make Pakistan more attractive and inviting to international tourists, investors and business delegations,” says an official statement.
The government has recently increased efforts to improve the infrastructure and streamline travel procedures to place Pakistan as a more competitive destination in the region.
