India now is the most favored destination for Pakistani Software Engineers
Not long ago, Pakistan’s software engineers wanted to come to US with H1B visa to work in the software industry. Today, the Pakistani software engineers dislike Western destinations due to unfavorable living conditions and more importantly the Western nations provide hardly any job opportunities these days. Most of the software jobs are in India as the whole word is lining up to get served with outsourcing services.
The Pakistani software engineers like to have the opportunity of working in India. They need more flexible visa rules. The like India and get attracted by the cultural heritage and feel at home.
According to media release, the Pakistani information technology (IT) industry on Tuesday sought a liberal visa regime with India for frequent and easier movement of professionals between the two countries.
A 15-member delegation, representing the Pakistan Software Houses Association (PASHA), told reporters here that restricted visa rules were hindering the movement of IT professionals.
"Though getting visas is not a problem, the process takes about three-four weeks, which is a long time in our industry," PASHA president Jehan Ara said. "We have to identify even the cities we are visiting. If we are to interact more and do business, we need to have a country visa rather than a city-specific visa," Ara said. Indian IT professionals visiting Pakistan too face the same problems.
PASHA representatives said the IT sector of both the countries is uneasy about investment because of the political relations between the two governments.
