Pakistan's Deadline for Undocumented Afghan Nationals Nears: Only 14 Days Left

Pakistan’s government has assured that no mistreatment will occur during the repatriation process, and those leaving will be provided with food, healthcare, and other essential assistance.

The deadline set by the Government of Pakistan for undocumented Afghan nationals and Afghan Citizen Card (ACC) holders to leave the country is now just 14 days away. The authorities had previously announced March 31, 2025, as the final date for their departure.

The Federal Ministry of Interior launched the Illegal Foreigners Repatriation Program (IFRP) in November last year, aiming to facilitate the return of undocumented foreigners. Now, the government has reiterated its directive for these individuals to leave Pakistan before the deadline.
