Punjab Parwaz Card to offer interest free loans for foreign job seekers

The Punjab government has unveiled the Parwaaz Card Program, offering interest-free financial support to young Pakistanis aspiring to work abroad. The initiative aims to ease the financial burden of visa fees, medical tests, and air tickets, enabling smoother access to overseas employment opportunities.

Under this new scheme, the government plans to assist 100,000 eligible applicants who already have verified foreign job offers. By providing interest-free loans, the Parwaaz Card ensures that financial constraints do not prevent skilled workers from pursuing international careers.

Applicants must be at least 18 years old, reside in Punjab, and hold a valid job offer from an authorized overseas employer. The government emphasizes transparent and organized access to the program, making the application process straightforward for eligible candidates.

Pakistanis often face challenges in securing overseas employment due to high upfront costs. The Parwaaz Card addresses this gap by providing financial aid without interest, reflecting Punjab’s commitment to supporting youth employment and boosting remittances through international work opportunities.

While the official application portal details are expected to be published on the Punjab government’s website, interested candidates should prepare:

• A verified overseas job offer
• Proof of residency in Punjab
• Valid identification and age verification

The scheme targets young professionals ready to work abroad but hindered by financial limitations.

“Through the Parwaaz Card, we aim to remove financial barriers for our youth, enabling them to explore international employment with confidence,” said a government spokesperson.
