Javid Law Associates provides comprehensive corporate immigration and relocation services designed for multinational corporations, foreign investors, startups, and expatriates seeking to establish operations or deploy key personnel in Pakistan. Relocating foreign talent requires navigating complex inter-ministerial frameworks, state security clearances, and local corporate registration requirements.
Regulatory Framework & Compliance
Foreign personnel entering Pakistan on business require official corporate sponsorship, which is closely linked to SECP company registration or the legal establishment of a branch or liaison office. The primary regulatory bodies governing this process are the Board of Investment (BOI), the Ministry of Interior (MoI), and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MoFA). Additionally, foreign executives must secure local tax registration, including NTN Registration Pakistan, to ensure full compliance with the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR).
