Ireland Travel Information for IMGs
Before Travel
Protector Stamp
Before you travel, you must have Protector stamp on your passport from the Bureau of Immigration & Overseas Employment (BEOE). Every region has its own office, which you could search on google. For Example, the Lahore-Faisalabad region office is in Model Town, Lahore. I advise you to go 2-4 days before your travel date. It is the whole 1-day activity, and you must submit the required documents with the original passport early morning at 10 am and get your passport stamped at 4 pm. 2 sets of the following documents are required.
- Original passport
- Job Contract (Colored Photocopy)
- Work Permit (Colored Photocopy)
- Passport 1st-2nd-and Irish Visa Page (Colored Photocopy)
- ID Card (Colored Photocopy)
- Any Family member ID Card (Colored Photocopy)
- Bank ATM Card Front Side (Colored Photocopy)
Once you reach the office, they will guide you, direct you to pay the required fee (Almost 7,000 Pak Rupees), fill the online form at https://beoe.gov.pk/, and submit all documents and receive your passport in the evening.
