In order to facilitate overseas Pakistanis and foreign nationals visiting the country as tourists, the government has inaugurated the online Temporary Mobile Phone Registration System.
The service will allow registration and usage of personal mobile phones by overseas Pakistanis and foreign nationals visiting the country for up to 120 days from the date of their arrival without any duty or tax.
Students and employees as well as foreign nationals visiting Pakistan for tourism or business purposes can benefit from the new facility.
Addressing the inaugural ceremony on Tuesday, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif stressed the need of making efforts to facilitate overseas Pakistanis with the introduction of different information technology-related initiatives.
