ISLAMABAD: In a bid to facilitate Pakistani citizens seeking legal residency in Spain, Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi has directed relevant authorities to expedite and simplify the verification process for applicants of the Spanish Resident Card.
The new approach is aimed at ensuring a more efficient and accessible application procedure. The announcement was made during a high-level meeting co-chaired by Naqvi and Minister for Overseas Pakistanis Chaudhry Salik Hussain in Islamabad.
