Parwaz Card 2026
Check all Details about Parwaz Card 2026 online Registration.
Let’s be honest for a second.
How many stories have you heard of talented young Pakistanis who receive job offers from Dubai, Saudi Arabia, or Europe, but never make it to the airport?
It’s a heartbreaking reality. You passed the interview. You get the selection letter. You are ready to change your family’s destiny. However, when you consider the costs.
The air ticket costs PKR 150,000.
The visa processing, the protector fee, the insurance—it all adds up to a mountain of cash that you simply don’t have.
So, what happens? You borrow money from a shark at high interest? Do you sell your mother’s jewelry? Or worse, you let the opportunity slip away.
The Punjab Government, under the leadership of Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz, realized this gap. They realized that “Money” should not be the reason a skilled youth stays unemployed.
Enter the Parwaz Card 2026.
This isn’t just a government announcement; it is a practical lifeline. It is a system designed to lend you the money you need to fly, which you can pay back after you start earning.
Today, we are going to break down exactly what this card is, who can get it, and the step-by-step process to apply online.
What Exactly is the Parwaz Card?
Think of the Parwaz Card as a “Credit Facility” specifically for skilled workers.
Launched by the Punjab Skills Development Fund (PSDF), this program is designed to solve the cash-flow problem of overseas employment. It is essentially an interest-free loan (Qarz-e-Hasana) that covers your “pre-departure” expenses.
When you get registered and approved, this card helps you pay for:
- Your Air Ticket.
- Visa Protection Fees.
- Insurance costs.
- Other processing charges are mandated by the Bureau of Emigration.
The best part? The government isn’t asking for profit. They just want you to go, work, earn foreign remittance for Pakistan, and improve your lifestyle.
Why This Scheme is a Game-Changer
Usually, government schemes are complicated. But the Parwaz Card structure addresses three major pain points for the common man:
1. No Interest (Sood-Free)
This is the biggest relief. If you borrow 2 Lakh rupees from a local lender, you might end up paying back 3 or 4 Lakhs. With the Parwaz Card, the loan is interest-free. You pay back the principal amount, and that’s it.
2. Pay When You Earn
You don’t have to start paying back immediately. The repayment structure is designed to start once you have settled in your new job abroad. It’s deducted in easy monthly installments (EMI) from your salary.
3. Verified Jobs Only
This program works in connection with licensed Overseas Employment Promoters (OEPs). This reduces the risk of fraud. If you are going through the Parwaz route, you are likely going through a legal, verified channel, saving you from human traffickers and fake agents.
Eligibility Criteria: Can You Apply?
Before you rush to the portal, you need to check if you qualify. The Punjab Government has set specific criteria to ensure the funds reach the deserving candidates.
The Mandatory Checklist:
- Residency: You must hold a valid CNIC with a Punjab Domicile. (This scheme is currently for Punjab residents only.
- Age Limit: You should be between 18 and 45 years old.
- Valid Passport: You must have a valid Pakistani machine-readable passport.
- The Golden Ticket (Job Offer): This is the most important part. You must have a valid job offer or visa sponsorship from a foreign employer, which is verified by a licensed OEP or the Protectorate of Emigrants.
- Skill Set: While open to many, preference is often given to skilled labor (IT, Engineering, Construction, Healthcare, Hospitality) that has high demand abroad.

Step 3: Build Your Profile
Once logged in, fill in your details honestly:

- Location: District and Tehsil (As per Domicile).
- Education & Skills: Upload details of your degrees or technical certificates (e.g., Electrician diploma, Nursing degree).
Step 4: Choose Your Path
The portal generally offers two tracks:

Step 6: Assessment & Approval
Once submitted, the PSDF team and partner banks (like Bank of Punjab) will review your application. If your job offer is verified as genuine, your loan will be approved, and the Parwaz Card will be issued to manage the payments.
How to Repay the Loan?
The repayment mechanism is designed to be hassle-free.
Once you travel and start receiving your salary, you will send the installment amount back to Pakistan (likely through the same banking channel issuing the card).
Failure to repay can result in legal action and blacklisting, so it is crucial to honor this commitment so that other youth can benefit from the same “revolving fund” in the future.
A Serious Warning: Beware of Scammers
We live in a digital age, but digital thieves are everywhere.
Since the announcement of the Parwaz Card 2026, many fake agents have become active.
- Red Flag 1: If someone calls you claiming to be a “Parwaz Agent” and asks for a processing fee via EasyPaisa/JazzCash. BLOCK THEM.
- Red Flag 2: Registration on the official government portal is generally free or has a nominal official banking fee. Government officials never ask for passwords or OTPs over the phone.
Always verify information through the official PSDF Helpline or website before handing over money or documents.
