It is now no secret that Pakistani passport is the second worst in the world. It means that the list of countries whose immigrants or travelers are considered most un-favorite, whom they don’t prefer nor like them to enter their country;

Pakistan is ranked second top on that list. Other countries don’t really Pakistanis coming to their land. If some immigration applications are to be rejected, yours would be second most favorite in them. In case you are wandering which country is top on the list, it is none other than our neighbor country, Afghanistan.

With the history and current state of affairs of Afghanistan, it is understandable why Afghanistan would be on top. But a nuclear power, one of the strongest and developing countries like Pakistan, is not supposed to be second worst. There are many other countries that are not developed, poor, most illiterate, uncivilized and racist countries but Pakistan is ranked second worst. There are multiple reasons why people don’t want Pakistani in their country whether as a student, employee or businessmen. Following I have shared the most basic reasons why Pakistani passport is the second worst.

1 - Terrorism:

We all are very much aware of the current and past security affairs of Pakistan. It has been many decades, almost from the time Pakistan came into being, that Pakistan is suffering from the terrible disease of Terrorism. If Pakistan is countering

terrorists that would be a normal a thing as, at present, almost whole world is facing this problem. But the problem is that Pakistan itself is considered a Terrorist country. Its first cause are the extremists in this country who claim to be preaching Islam through violence and Pakistan is Islamic Republic of Pakistan. This gives the world a notion that Pakistan is currently training and sheltering terrorists in its own protection.

In making Pakistan a villain in front of the world, its government played an important role as there actually had been proofs and some unanswered questions. We still don’t know how such big forces were established and they were armed for heavy weaponry. Now any Pakistani who goes abroad is considered a possible terrorist from a terrorist country. This is why people don’t like to take chance of letting them enter in their country, however, they still do but with extra care and also don’t very much prefer it. This is one of the top reasons that Pakistani passport is the second worst in the world and its students are not very much preferred.

We need to change this mentality and view that the world has of Pakistan. We should go abroad for education and other purposes as well and prove that we are not what they think we are. That Pakistan is a great country to live in with the best people of world.

2 - Illegal Smuggling:

If world does not want us to come to their country, it is mostly our fault. I will not blame them if they don’t prefer Pakistani

immigrants. There have been many instances when Pakistanis were found smuggling illegal goods. There have been many cases of money laundering and drug smuggling. Since Pakistan is a developing economy with one of the poorest management in the world, a great proportion of people are either illiterate or unemployed. That causes them to turn to illegal means.

It is apparent that Pakistani management itself has been promoting these unethical activities or else these smugglers wouldn’t pass Pakistan airport security. But eventually they do get caught at their destination’s airport security which again causes a bad name of Pakistan. Now in such situations, how can world be sure that these bad people will not use students to fulfill their wicked objectives. There had been a little more than few such cases when Pakistani passport was ranked second worst of the world.

3 - Bad Economy:

Due to bad economy of Pakistan, whole world is well aware of the unemployment problem Pakistan has. If you are going to someone’s country, to get their jobs and instead of giving them some profit, you are depending on their resources for your basic living; why would they let you in? If I were them I would have given the same response. Pakistanis have been doing this quite a lot more than other nations. If you are not rich, how can others do business with you? If you can’t do business, you are none of their business.

4 - Jobless Pakistanis:

There is no shortage of unemployed Pakistanis in this world. Even inside Pakistan, you will find a lot of youth jobless and many families living hand to mouth. It can be because of fail economy or lack of education and skills. I personally find lack of skills and education the reason of this unemployment. People will only give you their money and when you give offer some of sort of profit. Now if you can’t offer any sort of skilled service, you are bound to be jobless.

This is one of the chief reasons why they wouldn’t want Pakistanis in their country. People who go abroad to look for jobs often become a liability to that country’s government. They have their nation to feed, on top of, that they have to look for these unemployed foreigners. Even if you get a job, you are most probably taking the job of their native. Unless you provide them some benefit of your being, you are not welcome anywhere. A lot of Pakistanis, though they are educated, try to escape their own country and go abroad for job so they can earn in a bigger currency and then spend in rupees in their country. This fashion has been too liberal these days causing a great proportion of Pakistanis in foreign countries.
