Remittances from Overseas Pakistanis - Updates

[Intervention-06]

My last visit to Pakistan was in August 2025 and it was the best immigration experience of my entire life at the Karachi airport. Efficient checkout through customs as well. I was wondering, what's going on. Similarly, the domestic flights were efficient.
Also, those who send money back to Pakistan are sending to their loved ones--it is not like they are giving some charity to the country! I don't feel entitled by sending money to Pakistan; I have been doing that since April 2004 on monthly basis.

Lahore is horrible - best was Faisalabad in 2019 !

Yeah. But its not just thst . People also invest in Pakistan.
I personally invested 20k right before IK government fell. Then came the Gang , and all my money went into another dimension. Its all lost .
Plenty of Pakistanis in the uk had similar losses due to political instability and the Fkin military having no clue.
