Islamabad – The Government of Pakistan has extended the residency permits of 16,000 Afghan migrants for a specified period, providing additional time for the review of cases involving those awaiting relocation to third countries.
According to reports, the affected individuals are Afghan nationals whose resettlement processes have not yet been finalized. Pakistani officials said the extension was granted on humanitarian grounds to help prevent residency and administrative difficulties while their cases remain under review.
The decision comes as Pakistan continues its campaign to deport undocumented Afghan migrants, a policy that has drawn concern and criticism from international organizations and human rights groups in recent months.
