Every stage, handled in-house
Iqbal Manpower Consultants handles every stage of the work visa journey from sourcing and screening a candidate to registration, briefing, and their placement in a job abroad. As a government licensed Overseas Employment Promoter, operating since 1978, we manage the entire process in-house and legally.
How we manage the journey, start to finish
These steps occur in this order in each case each is a complete page of its own.
Manpower Sourcing
We find workers matched to trade and site not just whatever is available drawing on networks built over decades across Pakistan.
Candidate Screening & Selection
Document verification, commercial testing where the role requires it, and structured interviews so shortlists are tested genuinely, not just CV in depth.
Document Attestation
Educational and professional certificates verified by IBCC, HEC, and Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) are correctly completed so the file is not returned for correction.
Protector of Emmigrants (PE) Registration
Every worker travelling on a work visa must register with the Protector of Immigrants under the Immigration Ordinance 1979. We complete this on your behalf as a licensed OEP.
Travel Facilitation
Flights and ticketing were arranged in-house by Travel Value, our sister company in the Iqbal Group integrated with the rest of your deployments.
Post-Placement Support
Real help in resolving issues with your employer through the appropriate channels and support for a worker who needs to leave a contract safely and legally.
Two more steps worth knowing about
These sit within the above journey but are not part of the number 6 linked to document verification and PE registration where they apply.
