Protector of Emigrants
The Protector of Emigrants offices, operated under BEOE, provide emigration clearance to Pakistani workers going abroad for employment. The "protector" registration confirms your overseas job and contract have been recorded with the government — a key protection if a dispute arises abroad.
Workers proceeding through proper channels receive this clearance; those trafficked through illegal routes do not, which is one reason irregular migration leaves workers without recourse.
