P@SHA is now added as an authority to issue visa invitation letters. This is a major milestone to encourage new companies to become members, as well as facilitate existing members.
Last year, Team from P@SHA reached out to NADRA and requested them to allow P@SHA to issue visa invitation letters directly, the way Chambers does it.
There has been back-and-forth and after getting an endorsement letter from DGTO, they got confirmation in mid-September from NADRA & MoC.
The system was installed and enabled for P@SHA earlier this week and they JUST issued the first visa invitation letter.
For those who may not be aware, they also launched P@SHA Visa Facilitation Service earlier this year to help companies invite a foreign guest. P@SHA took care of the entire process for them.
It started with TikTok requests, but then they launched it for P@SHA members at a 50% rate.
Acquiring a visa for a foreign guest is a 3-step process:
- Letter from chambers
- Letter from MoC,
- Letter from MoI.
Hence, even for this case, they still needed Chamber letters, which can now be issued by P@SHA directly, expediting the overall process.
What does this news mean for P@SHA and P@SHA Members?
This means that P@SHA members no longer need to rely on Chambers for Visa Invitation letters.
P@SHA will be offering a complete Visa Facilitation Invitation and Service for members:
- Visa Invitation Letter (same as of chambers)
- Visa Facilitation Service (Premium service to complete the entire process on behalf of companies – with a 50% discount for members)
They started facilitating members and non-members in the process last year – as a premium service.
However, a major change and announcement are now P@SHA is added as a verified entity in NADRA, MoC, and MoI system – which allows it not only to issue invitation letters but help in expediting the overall process.
