The High Commission for Pakistan in London has signed a landmark agreement with Gerry’s Visa Services Ltd., designating the company as the sole authorized partner for establishing a nationwide network of Facilitation Centres to deliver consular services across the United Kingdom. The initiative has been undertaken with the approval of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and aims to significantly enhance the accessibility, efficiency, and convenience of consular services for the Pakistani community throughout the UK.
Serving the two million-strong Pakistani diaspora in the United Kingdom, this milestone initiative reflects the High Commission’s continued commitment to making essential consular services more accessible than ever before. Under the agreement, Gerry’s Visa Services Ltd. will operate the only authorized service centres nationwide, providing overseas Pakistanis with streamlined access to a comprehensive suite of consular services, including visa processing, passport services, NADRA-related documentation, and attestation services.
Commenting on the partnership, the High Commissioner for Pakistan, Dr. Muhammad Faisal, stated: “This partnership is about putting overseas Pakistanis first. By decentralizing these essential services through authorized partners like Gerry’s, we are eliminating the burden of long-distance travel and making consular access faster, safer, and more convenient.”
Mr. Afzal wali Muhammad, Chairman of Gerry’s Visa Services Ltd., expressed his appreciation for the trust placed in the organization, stating: “We are honoured to be entrusted as the sole authorized partner for this transformative initiative. Our commitment is to deliver transparent, secure, and efficient services — backed by our proven track record in consular facilitation — that meet the evolving needs of the Pakistani community across the United Kingdom.”
The first Gerry’s Visa Services Ltd. Facilitation Centre is scheduled to be inaugurated in May 2026, with a phased rollout planned to establish a comprehensive presence across all major regions of the UK. Further details regarding centre locations, services offered, and appointment procedures will be announced in the coming weeks.
