The Reality
Why This Matters for Pakistani Entrepreneurs
The Pakistani passport is currently ranked in the bottom 10 globally for visa-free access — offering entry to roughly ~32 countries.
As a Pakistani business owner, a second passport from Dominica, Grenada, or Saint Lucia can give you access to 140–155 countries — a 4× leap in global mobility.
For UAE-based Pakistanis, the Golden Visa removes the stress of 3-year renewal cycles, giving you 10-year residency stability for you and your family.

Why Abid?
I navigated Indonesia's KITAS system as one of the few Pakistanis to do so. I've lived, worked, and built businesses in Pakistan, UAE, and across Southeast Asia. I understand what mobility means to a Pakistani entrepreneur — not just on paper, but from lived experience.
