If you rent a house in Rawalpindi or Islamabad for six months or a year then think of what you have to do. Recently I have done the same for a friend.

Thank you Usman, I will keep that in mind

Thank you for your response Kausar....how is your friend finding the adjustment to life in PK?

I have a lot of problems but he says slowly everything will be fine. By the way, I am dealing with dew. My friend wants to do something on his own.

Hi Brother, I’m in the same position as you...just joined this forum

Hi Everyone, my name is Shahab Awan.  I am 58 years of age, a Pakistani with British nationality and have been a resident in London UK for over 40 years.  I am married with 4 children aged 5, 8 (twins) and 13.

Although well settled in UK for many years My wife and I have been thinking of settling in Pakistan.  It’s naturally a massive decision as we would need to sell property and relocate permanently, however we have strong family ties in Rawalpindi, Islamabad and Muree so feel confident, albeit apprehensive about the move.

Over the past few years we have managed to build a large house in Rawalpindi which we use whenever we travel to Pakistan, usually once or twice a year.

Our aim is to sell our property in London and hopefully purchase a house in Islamabad or Bahria and use some of our money to perhaps start a business.  I have some guaranteed regular income from London so the plan is to retire in Pakistan; the business idea more for keeping occupied than a real necessity.

We feel our biggest challenge will be the children settling in schools...fortunately they all speak decent Urdu, and of course are fluent in English.

Hoping I will get some useful feedback and advice from friends who may have taken the steps that we’re planning to take in the coming 12 months

Ok sir

If you can manage yourself, you can work successfully and if you think employees will benefit you, you will be at a disadvantage by relying on partners and partners.

Dear All !,

I do recommend my homeland Pakistan for a permanent stay ... in Pakistan you can live your life according to your wishes and desire (Islamic way).

2nd thing which I may help out or advise you is "do busin ess" instead of getting job.....

Remember ; You've to compromise on your comforzone while moving to Pakistan and after a passage of time your comfort zone will be as per your desire


Regards,

You may contact with me ***

As-Salam-o-Alikum,

Have a good day!

I do recommend you to have a business setup here in Pakistan.

As I'm doing used clothing business ... so I may help out you in this area.

What you've to do is find out the best used clothing supplier from UK and then I'll connect with you from local buyers here in Pakistan.

So we'll proceed accordingly.

Have you decided yet?
I lived in mirpur for 3 years with my kids n loved it!
Regret moving back to the UK.

Hi all,

Thanks for all your previous help. I'm still exploring and looking at visiting Pakistan post Covid-19 restrictions.

I have decided my plan of action: Hopefully, I first intend to come to Islamabad and explore the areas and get a feel of the atmosphere, areas and life in general. I know this will be very different from a "tourist" point of view as opposed to someone who is settling there.

I then hopefully intend to spend some extended time in the city over the following year which will allow us to make a more informed decision.

I'm still looking to buy a property nonetheless. My primary search has been in Bahria town but I have been doing some generic searches.

I came across this:

Trivelles PK Smart Location

Can anyone comment on this in terms of area, facilities etc. It looks amazing, but seeing is believing.

Thanks.

Zain

AOA!

I think you should move to Pakistan It is a beautiful country to live in. Freedom is a major attribute when you choose to move here.

I currently live in Islamabad, I moved back from Oslo after 10 years, considering a better quality of life. But there are few things to consider before you make a move. It might be a bit different then you think. It is not an easy task to settle with locals as there is an huge mind gap keep all of this in your mind. Living in Pakistan can be challenging some times and you will face unexpected difficulties initially but it is not unusual to come over all of these concerns, take a thorough visit before you consider moving. I would suggest you to temporarily rent out a place before buying any property. And Please Note do not trust anybody easily there are a lot of scammers and gold diggers around. I think you needed an honest opinion so there it is.

Pakistan is vastly growing in Exports especially in IT Exports so much so that Pakistan had 30B Dollars worth of IT Exports in 2021 alone, I think its a very good reason to invest in IT export services. I work for couple of online companies if you need any help regarding online business or other advice feel free to contact me on Whatsapp *** I would be looking forward to establish a new contact.

Hi all,

Plans for moving somewhat delayed due to Covid-19. However, I have been researching and exploring.

I initially opted to move to Karachi from the UK due to family members being in Karachi. However, I was advised to move to Islamabad as the climate and development would suite me better. Having researched this, I found this to be very true and excellent advise.

I am now looking at areas within Islamabad where housing would be most appropriate.

I have looked at Bahria Town, but I believe this falls under Rawalpindi (Phase 1-6). I know there are other Bahria areas such as Enclave.

I found Bahria Town Phase 1-6 area having many local amenities and activities nearby. The Giga Mall shopping Centre is not too far, the airport is just over an hour away, there are many local shops and restaurants, entertainments areas, Intellectual Village etc.

Does Rawalpindi Bahria Town differ to that of Islamabad's?

Any particular areas members would advise looking at? I would like to have areas where you don't have to use the car for everything and a walk in the daytime / evening is possible and it is lively etc.

Also, are there any agents that you would recommend? I mostly use Zameen.com but would like some options, if there are others.

I am planning on visiting Islamabad soon, maybe this December, depending on the travel restrictions etc. I would like to do some research before I come so I can explore potential areas.

Thanks in advance.

Assalamualikom, i am moving to Pak too InshAllah i am from lahore. My plan is to rent house first before i buy a house. The working environment and people approach towards work in Pakistan is different, i would suggest to first live and get used to the country before investing. One thing which is good and that is kids upbringing compare to uk. Good luck

Assalamualikom,
I am moving to Pakistan too InshAllah. Islamabad is great and Lahore is good too. It all depends on your goal and what exactly you looking for. I wish you good luck InshAllah next year i will be moving to Pakistan too with my kids.

Hi all

I am 53 years old and am thinking of moving to the Islamabad area. Would like to learn Arabic and Qur'an properly. No worries about money, as I have income from multiple properties in the UK. My children are also all grown and taken care of. Wanted to ask if there are any recommendations for where to study.

The best way to learn Quran and Sunnah is to join engineer Muhammad Ali Mirza who belongs to Jhelum.

You may also see his videos on YouTube.

@WahidUK Assalam u alaikum Wahid brother , i can help you can we talk on whatsapp plz this is my whatsapp number u may text me ***

@Muhammad Hanif30 Hello please note that information should be provided on the forum itself for the benefit of all members.

What kind of information do you have ?

Regards

Bhavna

Thanks Bhavna. I agree.

I think what I was trying to say was that I am looking to move to Islamabad regardless, and was looking for suggestions for learning Qur'an and Arabic while I am there anyway.
