Under the One Document Regime, Afghans may enter Pakistan for treatment, education, or business with a valid visa and documents
Islamabad: The National Assembly was informed on Wednesday that at least 1.3 million Afghan refugees have been repatriated from Pakistan so far.
Responding to a question raised by MNA Anjum Aqeel Khan, Parliamentary Secretary Mukhtar Ahmad Malik stated that around 3 million Afghan refugees had been residing in Pakistan. Out of these, 813,000 hold Afghan Citizen Cards (ACC), while 1.3 million possess Proof of Registration (PoR) cards.
He further emphasised that under the One Document Regime, Afghan nationals who wish to enter Pakistan for medical treatment, education, or business purposes are welcome, provided they obtain the appropriate visa and carry all valid documents.
Last month, State Minister for Interior Talal Chaudhry said that Pakistan set a June 30 deadline for registered Afghan nationals, including Proof of Registration (PoR) holders, to voluntarily return to Afghanistan.
