Several steps can be taken to increase the value of a Pakistani passport:
Diplomatic efforts: The government can engage in diplomatic efforts with other countries to negotiate visa waiver agreements, visa-on-arrival policies, and simplified visa procedures for Pakistani citizens.
Bilateral agreements: The government can sign bilateral agreements with other countries to promote trade, investment, and cultural exchange. Such agreements can also facilitate visa-free or visa-on-arrival travel for Pakistani citizens.
Tourism promotion: The government can promote Pakistan as a tourist destination to attract more foreign visitors. This can help improve Pakistan's image and increase the number of visa waiver agreements and visa-on-arrival policies with other countries.
Passport security: The government can implement measures to enhance the security and integrity of Pakistani passports, such as issuing biometric passports, implementing anti-fraud measures, and cracking down on passport forgery and identity theft.
Economic development: The government can focus on economic development to improve the country's overall ranking in international indices. This can help increase the global perception of Pakistan as a stable and secure country and can contribute to the likelihood of visa waiver agreements and visa-on-arrival policies with other countries.
Education and language proficiency: The government can promote education and language proficiency among Pakistani citizens, which can increase the likelihood of visa approval and can facilitate easier communication with officials in foreign countries
Overall, improving the value of Pakistani passports requires a combination of diplomatic efforts, security measures, and economic and social development.!?
