Pakistan charging refugees $830 to leave

In October Pakistan announced that it would deport 1.7 million undocumented foreigners from the country if they did not leave by 1 November.

Most are Afghans, including hundreds of thousands of people who fled Afghanistan when the Taliban retook power in 2021.

Those who have expired visas will be charged depending on how long they have overstayed.

An exit fee does not apply to anyone travelling back to Afghanistan.
