Before you apply — Pakistan checklist:
- Get the offer in writing — salary, overtime, accommodation and contract length named in the document, not promised in a chat message.
- The employer or agent must be licensed — in Pakistan, only a licensed Overseas Employment Promoter may recruit you; check the licence with the Bureau of Emigration before paying anything (how to verify, step by step).
- Before you travel for any Gulf job, your passport must carry the Protector of Emigrants stamp — never travel for work without it.
- Never pay a fee to Gulf Salary Hub — we are a guide, not an agent. We charge nothing, ever, and we cannot arrange jobs or visas.
- Keep copies of your passport, CNIC, contract and every receipt — photos on your phone, plus a printed set left with family at home.
