The report described various violations which included administrative violations and visa infractions and narcotics offenses and begging and violations of all other legal regulations.

People at airports experience entry rejection because they attempt to enter with expired visas or present birth certificates from abroad which lack proper paperwork or they break immigration regulations.

Law enforcement officials documented cases that involved theft and visa cancellations and fake or forged documents and damaged passports and fraud and Interpol matters and rejected asylum applications.

Gulf nations maintain strict immigration and labor regulations which create persistent problems for Pakistani workers who travel to and from their homeland.
