ISLAMABAD: The Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) Immigration Islamabad has registered a case against eight Pakistani nationals deported from Türkiye for allegedly violating the conditions of their work visas by taking up employment at unauthorised locations.
Eight individuals had travelled to Türkiye on work visas but allegedly started working at places other than the companies for which their visas had been issued.
During initial investigations, it was revealed that Turkish police arrested the individuals and sent them to jail before deporting them to Pakistan.
The official said a case had been registered against the eight individuals under Sections 3 and 4 of the Passport Act, 1974. He added that further investigations were underway to determine the possible involvement of other individuals or agents in the case.
