ISLAMABAD, Dec 18 (APP):Federal Minister for Interior and Narcotics Control Mohsin Naqvi on Thursday shared a video on the social media platform X highlighting the successful departure of Muhammad Tufail to Saudi Arabia after his documentation issues were resolved, including the issuance of a valid driving licence.
In his post, the interior minister said Tufail had earlier been offloaded from a flight a few weeks ago while travelling to Saudi Arabia on a driver’s visa due to the absence of a driving licence, a mandatory requirement for such employment.
“Alhamdulillah, Muhammad Tufail, who was offloaded a few weeks back while travelling to Saudi Arabia on a driver’s visa without a driving licence, has now departed with all valid documents, including his driving licence,” Naqvi wrote.
The video shared by the minister features Tufail expressing gratitude for the assistance provided to him. In his recorded message, Tufail said he had been facing difficulties after being stopped from travelling abroad because he lacked the required licence.
“I was going to Saudi Arabia on a driver’s visa. Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi helped me in attaining a driving licence and learned driving skills, and arranged my ticket as well,” Tufail said.
“Now I am going with complete documents. Thank you to Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi sahib. Long live Pakistan,” he said.
Overseas employment remains a major source of livelihood for many Pakistanis, with Gulf countries, including Saudi Arabia, being key destinations. Officials have repeatedly stressed the importance of ensuring proper documentation and compliance with visa and employment requirements to avoid difficulties during travel and employment overseas.
