Pakistan: Afghan students with valid visas can complete their education

Sajjad Haider Khan, spokesperson for Pakistan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, says there is no government decision to return all Afghan students from Pakistan. Khan said Afghan students who are enrolled in valid degree programmes and hold valid visas can remain in Pakistan and complete their education. He added that students who are not registered at a university or do not hold valid visas have been instructed to return to Afghanistan. The Pakistani official said students studying in foreign countries are expected to have both valid enrollment and valid visas for the purpose of their stay, stressing that both are necessary. This comes after the Pakistan Medical and Dental Council recently decided to expel Afghan medical students from the country and instructed universities not to enroll new students.
