Best Countries for Pakistanis to Earn Money
UAE
. This is due to a plethora of reasons mainly associated with employment-related dynamics. The bustling economy of the UAE allows foreigners especially in the construction, oil, hospitality, and retail sectors to acquire better returns on investment. Most Pakistanis working in the UAE are based in the country thanks to the tax-free environment, which is an appealing factor everywhere.
There are sizable expatriate communities in Dubai and Abu Dhabi, including numerous Pakistanis. There are plenty of jobs available, ranging from construction workers to senior managerial positions. Employment opportunities for Pakistanis can be found in the construction industry, health services, education, customer support, and IT services. The geographical location of Pakistan within close range of the United Arab Emirates makes it easy for the Pakistanis who want to extend their stay abroad for a limited period on contractual obligations.
Qatar
Qatar does have a fair amount of job opportunities as skilled labour positions are fairly well paid. The country has a considerable Pakistani expatriate population which is advantageous for newcomers. Like the UAE and Saudi Arabia, Qatar has tax-free income as well as allowances/provisions for housing and transportation which makes it even more attractive for Pakistani workers.
United States of America (USA)
Various professionals, businessmen and students have benefited from travelling to the USA. The diverse economy of the USA creates significant opportunities for Pakistanis in the fields of technology, engineering, healthcare, finance and business. Many IT companies surround Silicon Valley which hire a large number of software engineers, data scientists, and IT experts from around the globe such as Pakistan.
Furthermore, the USA is also able to support its citizens especially when looking for job opportunities. However, such cities as New York, San Francisco and Los Angeles are expensive places to live in, regardless of whether they are looking for employment. Nevertheless, the level of income meets the skills of professionals in the USA, and the potential for secure employment and permanent immigration is appealing to these career-laden individuals.
Canada
Moving to Canada aims at better financial growth and opportunities which are well known to Pakistanis and have huge potential in the Diaspora. Economically, Canada is relatively stable with various wholesome industries including technology, healthcare, education, manufacturing and natural resources. Canada boasts a good standard of living, a good healthcare system, and sound social security benefits, hence it becomes very attractive to workers in need of opportunities combined with better living standards.
When it comes to immigration, Canada’s policies can be said to be moderate, especially regarding skilled workers who look forward to migrating to Canada through the Express Entry system, which is a recognised pathway for professionals applying for permanent residency. It is worth mentioning that the Pakistani diaspora already resides primarily in major cities like Toronto, Vancouver, and Calgary, easing the settlement process for newcomers. While there are other major regions like the USA, Canada offers exceptionally good salaries in qualified sectors like IT, engineering, healthcare, and finance which adds to the economic motivation to work.
Australia
Apart from being known for its beautiful cities, Australia has a great economy combined with excellent living standards, making it more suitable for Pakistanis planning to earn abroad. Important areas include healthcare, technology, engineering, education and construction. With major cities like Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane presenting numerous opportunities in job markets along with an ideal work-life balance, an ever-growing number of expatriates including Pakistanis prefer Australia.
Australia has an increasing shortage of manpower in the market; hence their immigration policy encourages talented foreigners to seek opportunities in Australia, particularly in sectors with skill gaps. The lowest wage in the country is among the highest in the world, while payments for skilled professions are competitive as well. Furthermore, public services in Australia are at the highest level, coupled with the quality of life where both work and personal domains can thrive.
United Kingdom (UK)
The United Kingdom is also disregarded by Pakistanis and is a reliable destination for those eager for employment opportunities abroad. The UK has a decent economy and has jobs to offer across the healthcare, education, finance, information technology, and engineering sectors. As there is already a considerable Pakistani community in the UK, primarily in London, Birmingham, and Manchester, it is quite convenient for newcomers.
Pakistanis relocating to the UK can take advantage of its accommodating labour market with high income levels and an emphasis on worker rights. The UK is also reputed for providing good healthcare, social security benefits and quality of life, thus is great for those targeting permanent settlement.
Malaysia
Moving to Malaysia is attractive for Pakistanis in Asian regions who can work. The economy of Malaysia has been on the rise and offers a relatively cheaper cost of living than Western nations. Industries popular among Pakistanis consist of construction, manufacturing, and IT. The country also has a decent tourism market and hence there exist prospects in hospitality and services.
The Malaysian administration has made efforts to encourage foreign workers and several work permits and visa options are available, especially for skilled workers. It is true that remuneration levels in Malaysia do not match the levels of payment offered in Western and Gulf countries; nonetheless, due to the lower living standards and a steady job climate, many Pakistanis willing to go overseas in search of income will find Malaysia an appealing choice.
Kuwait
Similarly, Kuwait is also found to be another Gulf state providing vast benefits for Pakistan, especially in fields like healthcare, construction, engineering and education. Kuwait is noted for its high quality of life, with a number of employers providing complimentary housing, transport, and healthcare. While the labour market conditions in Kuwait may be stiffer than in some of the other Gulf nations, the remuneration offered, particularly in skilled occupations, can be quite attractive.
While working in Kuwait, it is prudent for Pakistanis to be aware of cultural considerations and the country’s legalities as Kuwait offers tax-free income to its residents similar to other Gulf nations.
In which rank is Pakistan in richest country
According to Global Finance and WorldAtlas, as of 2024, Pakistan has been positioned in 106th place in terms of its GDP per capita ranking. It therefore reflects the nature and status of Pakistan’s economy as a developing one in terms of revenue per capita, wealth distribution, level of industrialisation, and so forth, compared to developed countries.
Pakistan is significantly lagging behind in GDP per capita compared to countries like Luxembourg, Macao and Ireland, where the population averages about $130,000 and more. Most of these nations are industrialised with a good banking system and a substantial volume of world trade.
Currently, Pakistan’s economy is driven by a few industries – agriculture and textiles; however, industrialisation and urbanisation of the economy remain, yet Pakistan is still far from the scale and level of development of the most advanced economies.
