Overseas Pakistanis residing in the UAE can now manage their property affairs back home with ease, thanks to a new partnership between the Embassy of Pakistan in Abu Dhabi and the Consulate General in Dubai. By collaborating with the Punjab Land Records Authority (PLRA), these missions have officially begun issuing Fards, which are vital land ownership documents. This initiative effectively removes the burden of traveling back to Pakistan for routine paperwork, such as verifying titles or updating property records, saving citizens both significant time and travel expenses.

This service is a key component of the government's broader strategy to digitize administrative processes for the diaspora, which includes over two million Pakistanis living in the UAE. Given that the UAE-based community is a primary contributor to Pakistan’s economy—sending nearly $9 billion in remittances annually—the government is prioritizing more efficient access to public services for these citizens. Those looking to utilize these new property management tools can visit the embassy or consulate during business hours or reach out through their 24/7 dedicated helplines for further guidance.
