| Pakistan Takes 'Urgent Measures' to Provide Visas to Afghans |
| 2020-10-14 |
How very odd. Why is it suddenly urgent? [ToloNews] Pakistain’s embassy in Kabul at a blurb on Monday said that it has taken urgent measures to facilitate Pak visas for Afghan nationals."The Embassy of Pakistain in Kabul has taken urgent measures to facilitate Pak visas for Afghan nationals. Pakistain’s Consulates in Jalalabad, Kandahar, Herat ...a venerable old Persian-speaking city in western Afghanistan, populated mostly by Tadjiks, which is why it's not as blood-soaked as areas controlled by Pashtuns... and Mazar-e-sharif have also started issuing visas to Afghan nationals in their respective jurisdictions," the Pak embassy in Kabul said on Monday "Under the new visa policy, long term multiple visas are being issued to the Afghan nationals for visiting Pakistain for medical treatment, family matters, business, education and other purposes," the embassy said. "As the visa facility has opened recently after many months of restrictions due to COVID-19, there is a significant backlog causing large crowds of visa applicants at Embassy’s and Consulates’ windows. The Embassy seeks the understanding and cooperation of the applicants as well as the Afghan security authorities for ensuring effective management of the submission and collection of visa applications with a view to hopefully clear the backlog in the coming days," the embassy concluded. The embassy said visas would be free, except for fees in the business category. Cui bono? The Pakistanis don’t do things for free. |
