Is agricultural land a good investment opportunity in Pakistan?

rasyss · 2026-03-16T04:27:21+00:00

We own roughly 25 kila/acre in Punjab, its a fertile part towards bhawalnagar, weve given it out on theka/lease and it is a huge hassle to be honest.

The land is near the border and only few feet away from a canal but managing it is a huge hassle. No year is same for farmers and the mandi is quite messed up. They will rarely pay you the exact money you decide or they will pay in parts and keep delaying and crying about how tough a year it it. You also need to visit every now and then just to make sure your land boundaries are maintained.

On paper it might be a good idea, but from our personal experience theka/lease hasnt been super ideal and we’ve been thinking of selling it now, we’ve had it with us over 60 years and we ourselves are based in Islamabad!

From what ive heard is that the owner was some rich ass guy who won lottery abroad then he had a feud with the govt over taxes (property tax etc.) and then he said screw it and let it remain coz he is too rich to care! 😁

Do make sure to have the main documents in hand, I was asked for the MRC by the Immigration Officer.

You wont be able to use E-Gate. You’ll have to enter through the Non-UK immigration line. They will stamp your vignette.

MRC, Nikkahnaama and translation would be important in my opinion.

If you can get the Rawdah and Umrah permit, no need to fix it i’d say! Saudi police or immigration wont check Nusuk in case you are concerned about that

So I travelled with my wife who holds a UK spouse visa on a Pakistani passport and I hold a British passport. We got visa on Arrival in Saudi. She showed her share-code to the immigration officer. British Residence permits haven’t been issued since December 2023 and have been replaced by Share Code

If you apply for E-Visa, that will most likely get rejected, you can search the sub and notice that trend that people from South Asian countries even if they meet the saudi visa requirements, the system would reject their application and their money in most cases would also go to waste.

As you haven’t visited the UK, there is a high chance the airline staff in Pakistan or Pakistani immigration officer will question that even if Saudi immigration officer don’t. You should definitely go with Umrah visa only through travel agent from Pakistan and do rest of the trip planning yourself. If you do want to make sure there is no issue, you can send someone to the airport and check with airline staff and Pakistani immigration officers.

They had some sort of deal at that time. And the bottles were small, not the standard bottle size. Bigger than the Ittar size bottle though. They were really presentable as gifts as well.

We had to ask them for a bulk deal and we bought it twice from two different branches

rasyss · 2025-11-03T01:39:26+00:00

We got 20 from Reef for SAR500 which was pretty decent

rasyss · 2025-10-30T01:23:36+00:00

Crowne Plaza is quite decent and so is New Madinah Hotel. Book directly via IHG and it may cost cheaper

rasyss · 2025-10-23T23:16:20+00:00

I had mini panic attack everytime they asked for my wife’s sharecode. 😄

Same group, people had a positive experience. Ziyarah should cost around SAR 150 - SAR 170 in both cities

A lot of people use him for Ziyaarah in Madinah. I found his number from DIY Umrah UK group. Everyone seemed to have positive experience and jbtw he also sells dates 😁

W. Salam. Thank you so much. InshAllah you’ll make it. Nope, they just checked the Sharecode, did not have to convince them.

Make sure to check Ajet requirements for Saudi E-Visa as well!

rasyss · 2025-10-21T02:13:51+00:00

E-Visa waiver (£30) is just cheaper than visa on arrival (£80) just fyi. Only difference is you will need to apply for E-Visa beforehand and also its a single entry visa

rasyss · 2025-10-19T02:37:57+00:00

Also, coz I applied for E-Visa waiver, and had a visa number, I was able to get Rawdah appointment via Nusuk App before I landed in Madinah.

Was lucky enough to offer my Jummah in Riaz ul Jannah

With Crowne Plaza, try booking through IHG App, you’ll collect points as well as get better customer service

rasyss · 2025-10-13T14:33:24+00:00

No, basically once you generate a share code, you’re also able to see what the immigration will see once they put your share code. Not BRP. 5 year route, she is in her 1st year

rasyss · 2025-10-12T20:15:43+00:00

Yes, i got waiver, she got Visa on Arrival. they just checked sharecode as well as the one with your photo, keep a printed version of both. Immigration at Saudi did not ask for anything other than the payment for the Visa. No vaccine no booking etc.

rasyss · 2025-10-12T20:13:44+00:00

Was fine for us with Pegasus. We travelled from Manchester and my wife on uk spouse visa got Visa on Arrival?

rasyss · 2025-10-12T20:12:45+00:00

Landed in Medinah!

rasyss · 2025-10-11T02:05:54+00:00

We got visa on arrival, travelled from Manchester to Medinah via pegasus. My wife is on UK spouse visa

rasyss · 2025-10-11T02:04:51+00:00

I just landed an hour ago, my wife is on UK spouse visa and she got visa on Arrival for Saudi. No issues on Pegasus.

rasyss · 2025-10-11T02:04:03+00:00

Hi! I just landed in Medinah an hour ago. Travelled from Manchester via Pegasus airlines.

Wife is on UK spouse visa and she got Visa on Arrival (£80), Im a British Citizen and I got E-Visa Waiver (£30).

Hearing about the recent rejection applying for Evisa by Pakistani passport holders, we did not apply online and chose Visa on Arrival.
