    Informative video.

I obviously don’t want my foreign earnings subject to tax Thx

    I have been offered postdoc fellowship at University of Pretoria starting from July 1,2024 to June 30, 2026. I have already applied in the high commission of Republic in Pakistan on July 23. I am still awaiting the outcome and today was the 35th day. I am surprised to know that, how can a Country keep waiting a Researcher who is going to benefit them in the Educational Field and in terms of Research. Its really Unfortunate, that how are these personnel dealing with the visa thing especially the Researchers who are going to help you. They have taken my passport since 35 days, and keep me waiting for the decision. Even this kind of visa is straight forward. I am a Ph. D. Doctor and I have no intentions to seek asylum or other means. I am just going there for Research purpose and I am supposed to come back after two years according to the agreement between me and the University. Its simply pathetic experience.
