ISLAMABAD: Federal Cabinet sets a five-year minimum stay in Pakistan for eligibility to obtain citizenship.
Major Decisions from Federal Cabinet Meeting
Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif chaired a federal cabinet meeting, where significant decisions about citizenship and passport regulations were made.
The cabinet approved amendments to the country’s passport and citizen ship laws to ensure stricter compliance with legal frameworks.
It has been decided that individuals must reside in Pakistan for at least five years to qualify for citizenship.
This new requirement aims to strengthen the connection of citizenship applicants with the country.
Measures Against Begging Abroad
Another decision involves stringent measures against Pakistanis engaging in begging activities abroad, including passport confiscation.
Heavy fines will also be imposed on individuals involved in tarnishing Pakistan’s global image through such actions.
These measures underline the government’s commitment to maintaining the nation’s dignity and reputation internationally.
Further details on the implementation of these amendments are expected in upcoming weeks.
