Punjab Parwaz Card Program 2026: Interest-Free Loans for Overseas Employment
The Punjab government is offering interest-free financial assistance to youth with confirmed overseas job offers — covering medical tests, visa fees, and airfare, with repayment spread over up to 5 years.
The Punjab government has launched the Parwaz Card Program 2026 — a flagship initiative aimed at empowering Punjab’s youth by removing financial barriers to overseas employment. The scheme provides 100% interest-free loans to cover essential pre-departure expenses including medical examinations, visa processing, protectorate fees, and air tickets.
What is the Parwaz Card Program?
The Parwaz Card Program targets individuals who have already secured a job offer abroad but cannot afford the upfront costs of getting there. Unlike conventional loans, beneficiaries repay only the principal — no interest, no hidden charges — making international employment accessible to a far wider segment of Punjab’s youth.
