Pakistan Orders a Complete Ban of Visa Issuance to Afghan Nationals
2023-02-13
They ruined it for everybody.
[KhaamaPress] The Foreign Ministry of Pakistain in a letter sent to all its embassies in European Union
...the successor to the Holy Roman Empire, only without the Hapsburgs and the nifty uniforms and the dancing...
countries has ordered a complete visa ban for Afghan nationals/origins, effective from February 8.

The Pakistain Foreign Ministry relates this decision to the issuance of 1600 visas to Afghans origins who had provided fake Swedish residence cards.

A formal letter from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Pakistain which went viral on social media last week indicates that Pakistain Embassy in Sweden had granted 1600 to Afghan citizens based on fake residence cards. The foreign ministry has ordered an immediate investigation regarding this scandal.

The letter was issued on February 8 and recently went viral on social media. The letter was addressed Pakistain Diplomatic Mission in European cities including London, Glasgow, Bradford, Manchester, Birmingham, Madrid, Barcelona, Rome, Milan, Berlin, Frankfort, Lisbon, Athens, Vienna, Berne, Copenhagen, Oslo, Brussels, The and Hague.

It is still not clear how long the ban will be in place as the investigations over the 1600 issued visas have already begun, and the issuance of visas is banned until further notice.

The latest decision by the Foreign Ministry of Pakistain has negatively affected Afghan nationals currently residing in Pakistain. Their family members in Europa
...the land mass occupying the space between the English Channel and the Urals, also known as Moslem Lebensraum...
cannot come to visit them in Pakistain due to the imposed visa ban, and it has disrupted their personal plans, said one Afghan national in Islamabad.

Since the overthrow of the Islamic Theocratic Republic of Afghanistan, the Pak government has limited the issuance of visas to Afghan nationals to a great extent.
