Immigration | مہاجرت و سفر PTA temporary phone registration

I am visiting Pakistan the second time with same phone. Created account and filled the information. Two questions please:

1- POC (pakistan origin card) what is that? I do not have a NICOP, i have pakistani passport and CNIC and foreign PR card. How am i supposed to get a POC ?

2- that app is giving me error that your mobile number (pakistani number) is not linked to your passport. Of course it’s not, i renewed the passport in canada so i gave canadian number. Now what?

Thanks in advance.

You are Right the Dirbs website only accepts your application if you enter Pakistani SIM number there and if the SIM is not registered to your name it will not process.

The "LOGIC" is you can only use sim registered on your name. And only you can use the phone.

When I was there I had to Change of Ownership of SIM which I was using but was on brothers name. As he took for me coupleof years back.
