The mobile device temporary registration system for overseas Pakistanis and foreign nationals has been fully implemented, ushering in a hassle-free experience for individuals traveling to Pakistan.
This initiative, known as Temporary Registration Facilitation, enables tax-free registration of personal mobile phones for a period of up to three months for visitors.
The recent update from the regulatory authority highlights that overseas Pakistanis and foreign nationals can now register their mobile phones for a duration of 120 days from their date of arrival in the country.
To make use of this service, individuals are advised to submit their applications using their own credentials, such as Passport, CNIC (Computerized National Identity Card), or NICOP (National Identity Card for Overseas Pakistanis).
The Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) has streamlined the process for utilizing the Temporary Registration Facilitation system through the DIRBS (Device Identification Registration and Blocking System).
For those seeking to register their mobile phones without incurring PTA tax, a comprehensive guide has been provided on dirbs.pta.gov.pk/drs.
This user-friendly platform ensures a straightforward and efficient registration process, aligning with the government’s commitment to facilitating overseas Pakistanis and foreign visitors during their stay, while maintaining regulatory compliance in the telecommunications sector.
