In a big break for Pakistani professionals, seven nations have opened doors through Job Seeker Visas in 2025, enabling people to go abroad without the need for a prior job offer and legally find employment.
Job Seeker Visas are temporary residence visas that facilitate skilled labourers to enter foreign labour markets, secure interviews, and apply for jobs while remaining in the nation.
After being hired, most can then transition to work permits or pursue permanent residence.
