MEMBERSHIP OF OVERSEAS PAKISTANIS FOUNDATION
The Overseas Pakistanis Foundation (OPF) extends its facilities only to those overseas Pakistanis who are its registered members. All persons of Pakistani origin living abroad are eligible for membership of Overseas Pakistanis Foundation
Presently two types of memberships are offered to the Overseas Pakistanis by OPF.

Compulsory Membership

As per Emigration Ordinance 1979 any Pakistani proceeding abroad on employment visa duly protected by the Protector of Emigrants will automatically become eligible for OPF membership after depositing an amount of Rs.2,000/- in a Bank. Such overseas Pakistanis remain OPF members as long as they stay abroad. However they are entitled to OPF benefit/services rendered by OPF for a period of three years after their permanent return to Pakistan.

Voluntary Membership

Initially compulsory membership was the only type of membership in OPF. Later, with the permission of the board, it was decided that those overseas Pakistanis who proceeded abroad before or after promulgation of emigration ordinance in March, 1979, without any protection of the visa from Protector of Emigrants, may also be allowed OPF membership after payment of the required membership fee on voluntary basis. The other conditions for availing benefit from OPF schemes remain the same as for compulsory members.
