OPF was established under the Emigration Ordinance, 1979 and registered on 8 July 1979 as a not-for-profit company. It operates as a public-sector company and works under government policy direction.
Its services cover areas such as welfare assistance, education, housing, legal support and facilitation for overseas Pakistanis.
Candidates who want to learn more about the organization can visit the official Overseas Pakistanis Foundation website.
Where Does OPF Operate?
OPF’s employment needs are not limited to one office.

- Lahore
- Karachi
- Peshawar
- Multan
- Quetta
- Mirpur, AJK
OPF also maintains facilitation operations at several international airports in Pakistan.
As a result, the location of an OPF vacancy depends on the position and operational requirement.

Recruitment can cover different professional and occupational areas.
Depending on organizational requirements, opportunities may arise in fields such as:

- Information technology
- Legal services
- Welfare services
- Housing and works
- Education
- Revenue-related work

Not every career area has vacancies at the same time.
Candidates should check current advertisements rather than assuming that a particular position is continuously available.
Management and Senior Professional Positions
OPF recruits senior professionals when management positions become vacant.
These opportunities may include roles related to finance, corporate governance, administration and other specialized functions.
For example, OPF’s official recruitment archive has included positions such as Director Finance and Company Secretary.
Senior positions normally require substantial professional experience in addition to the prescribed academic or professional qualification.
The exact requirements depend on the responsibilities and grade of the position.
Finance and Accounts Careers
Finance is an important professional area within a public-sector organization such as OPF.
Vacancies may involve:
- Financial management
- Accounts
- Audit
- Budgeting
- Corporate finance
- Revenue-related work
- Financial reporting
Some senior positions may require membership of a recognized professional body or substantial post-qualification experience.
Candidates should check whether the advertisement requires a university degree, professional certification, membership of a professional body or a combination of education and experience.
Corporate and Company Secretariat Careers
As a public-sector company, OPF can recruit professionals for corporate governance and company-secretariat functions.
Such positions may require knowledge of:
- Corporate governance
- Company law
- Regulatory compliance
- Board matters
- Corporate documentation
- Legal drafting
- Public-sector governance requirements
Professional membership and relevant senior-level experience may also be required for certain positions.
The current recruitment for Company Secretary is an example of this specialized career area.
Administrative and Human Resource Careers
Administrative functions support OPF’s offices and operations.
Recruitment may involve roles connected with:
- General administration
- Human resources
- Office management
- Coordination
- Record management
- Procurement or support functions
- Project administration
Qualifications can vary considerably according to the grade and responsibilities of the position.
IT and Technical Careers
OPF may also require professionals with information technology and technical skills.
Such recruitment can involve software, information systems, networking, databases, digital services or other technology-related responsibilities according to organizational needs.
Technical vacancies normally specify the relevant degree, skills and experience in the individual advertisement.
Applicants should compare their qualifications carefully with the advertised requirements.
Education Careers
Education is another important area of OPF’s activities.
The organization operates a network of educational institutions in different parts of Pakistan. These include schools and colleges serving students, including children of overseas Pakistanis.
As a result, recruitment may arise for:
- Principals
- Teachers
- Lecturers
- Administrative staff
- Accounts staff
- Other teaching and non-teaching personnel
OPF’s previous recruitment records include hiring for principals and other positions at its educational institutions.
Candidates interested specifically in education-related careers should check whether a vacancy is being advertised centrally by OPF or through the relevant institution.
Welfare and Facilitation Careers
OPF’s core mandate involves services for overseas Pakistanis and their families.
Its operations include welfare and facilitation functions, which can create staffing needs in areas involving:
- Public dealing
- Complaint handling
- Welfare services
- Coordination
- Airport facilitation
- Case processing
- Communication and support
The qualifications for these positions depend on their level and responsibilities.
Airport Facilitation Operations
OPF provides facilitation services at major international airports in Pakistan.
Its official recruitment policy identifies staffing at international airports including Islamabad, Lahore, Karachi, Faisalabad, Multan, Sialkot, Quetta, Gwadar and Peshawar.
Employment or internship opportunities related to these operations may therefore arise according to organizational requirements.
Candidates should check the job location carefully because an OPF vacancy is not necessarily based at the Islamabad Head Office.
OPF Internship Opportunities
OPF also announces internship opportunities from time to time.
Previous official recruitment notices have included internships for fresh graduates and other graduates at the Head Office and operational units.
Internships may be connected with specific departments, projects or service functions.
Applicants should check:
- Required degree
- Graduation period
- Age requirement
- Internship duration
- Stipend, if offered
- Location
- Application procedure
Internship conditions should always be taken from the particular announcement.
Educational Qualifications
There is no single educational qualification for all OPF careers.
Depending on the position, an advertisement may require:
- Matric or Intermediate
- Bachelor’s degree
- Master’s degree
- Business or management qualification
- Finance or accounting qualification
- Law degree
- IT or computer science degree
- Engineering or technical qualification
- Professional certification
- Membership of a recognized professional body
Candidates should also check whether the qualification must be recognized by the Higher Education Commission or another relevant professional authority.
Where HEC recognition applies, applicants can consult the Higher Education Commission for relevant information.
Professional Qualifications
Certain senior or specialized positions may require professional credentials in addition to academic education.
These can depend on the nature of the vacancy.
For example, positions involving finance, corporate governance, engineering, law or other regulated professions may require membership, registration or certification from the relevant professional body.
Applicants should not assume that a general university degree will satisfy a vacancy that specifically requires professional recognition.
Experience Requirements
Experience requirements differ widely across OPF recruitment.
Entry-level positions and internships may require little or no professional experience. Senior management positions, however, can require several years of relevant post-qualification experience.
Advertisements may also specify:
- Overall professional experience
- Post-qualification experience
- Experience in a particular field
- Management experience
- Experience at a senior level
- Public-sector experience
- Experience in a specific industry
Candidates should distinguish between total work experience and post-qualification experience when the advertisement makes that distinction.
Age Limit
The maximum age varies according to the position.
Some advertisements may prescribe a specific upper age limit, while applicable recruitment rules may affect how age is calculated.
Candidates should check:
- Minimum age, if applicable
- Maximum age
- Cut-off date
- Any permissible relaxation
- Position-specific age requirements
Do not use the age limit from an older OPF advertisement to determine eligibility for a new vacancy.
Contract and Regular Positions
The nature of appointment can vary.
OPF advertisements may offer positions on:
- Contract basis
- Fixed-term appointment
- Other terms prescribed for the position
Some contracts may also be extendable subject to performance and applicable rules.
Candidates should read the employment terms carefully before applying.
A previous OPF vacancy does not establish the employment terms for a future position.
Salary and Benefits
Salary arrangements depend on the position, grade and applicable OPF rules.
An advertisement may provide:
- OPF grade
- Fixed remuneration
- Negotiable remuneration
- Salary package
- Applicable allowances
- Other benefits
For some senior positions, remuneration may be negotiable and linked to experience.
PakJobAlert will report the salary only when it is stated or can be verified from the relevant recruitment information.
OPF Recruitment Process
OPF has published a structured recruitment and selection process.
The general process can involve:
Job advertisement → Application → Shortlisting → Written test → Interview → Offer and joining → Medical, antecedent and document verification
Not every vacancy necessarily uses every stage in exactly the same way.
For example, a senior professional position may rely more heavily on qualification, experience and interview assessment, while another recruitment may involve a written test.
Candidates can read the official OPF recruitment policy for general information.
The individual advertisement remains the main source for the selection procedure applicable to a specific vacancy.
Written Test
A written examination may be used where required by the recruitment process.
The test can assess knowledge and abilities relevant to the position.
If OPF appoints a testing organization or publishes a syllabus, candidates should follow those specific instructions.
Do not rely on test patterns from unrelated or older OPF vacancies.
Shortlisting
Meeting the minimum qualification does not necessarily mean that every applicant will be called for the next stage.
OPF may shortlist candidates according to the advertised criteria and recruitment procedure.
Applicants should therefore provide complete and accurate information about their:
- Education
- Professional qualifications
- Experience
- Skills
- Employment history
Documents should support the information stated in the application.
Interview
Shortlisted candidates may be called for an interview.
Senior and professional positions may involve assessment of relevant experience, technical knowledge, communication skills and suitability for the responsibilities of the position.
Candidates should bring original documents when required.
The interview procedure should be followed according to the instructions issued for the particular recruitment.
Medical and Document Verification
Appointment can remain subject to verification.
OPF’s recruitment process includes medical, antecedent and document verification at the relevant stage.
Candidates should therefore ensure that academic certificates, professional credentials, experience letters and other submitted information are genuine and verifiable.
Incorrect or unverifiable information can affect candidature.
Government Employees
Candidates already working in government service should check whether they are required to apply through the proper channel.
A current advertisement may require an NOC or other departmental permission.
Serving employees should follow the instructions stated in that advertisement rather than assuming the same procedure applies to every vacancy.
How to Apply for OPF Jobs
The application method can change between recruitment campaigns.
Depending on the vacancy, candidates may be asked to:
- Complete an OPF application form.
- Apply through a specified online recruitment system.
- Submit a CV and supporting documents.
- Send an application through the method stated in the advertisement.
- Apply through an authorized recruitment or testing organization.
Candidates should first check the official OPF jobs section for current recruitment information.
They should then follow the application route stated in the individual advertisement.
Application Through Third-Party Recruitment Firms
Some senior or specialized OPF recruitment may be handled through an authorized recruitment firm.
In such cases, candidates should use the application portal specifically identified in the official advertisement.
This is important because the general OPF application form may not apply to every vacancy.
PakJobAlert will identify the correct application method in each individual recruitment article.
Application Fee
There is no single permanent application fee that applies to every OPF vacancy.
A recruitment advertisement may specify a fee, while another may not require one.
Candidates should pay an application or testing fee only when it is clearly required in the official recruitment instructions.
Never use a challan, bank account or fee amount taken from an older advertisement.
Documents Commonly Required
The exact documents vary by position, but applicants may need:
- CNIC
- Recent photograph
- Educational certificates
- Degrees and transcripts
- Experience certificates
- Professional membership or registration
- Updated CV
- Domicile where required
- NOC for serving employees
- Other position-specific documents
Candidates should follow the checklist provided with the current application instructions.
Job Locations
OPF vacancies can arise at different locations.
These may include:
- Islamabad Head Office
- Regional offices
- Educational institutions
- Airport facilitation operations
- Other OPF establishments or projects
The job location should always be confirmed from the current advertisement.
Applicants should not assume that every OPF position is based in Islamabad.
Check Official OPF Vacancies
Candidates should verify important recruitment information through the official OPF jobs section.
The official archive also helps applicants review recruitment announcements issued for different professional fields.
PakJobAlert presents vacancy information in a simpler format for job seekers. However, the official advertisement and subsequent instructions issued by OPF or its authorized recruitment partner remain the final authority.
