National Service would be a good thing. Works for Israel.

That is your decision sir. However, if you want to visit Pakistan--pay money.

Simple is that.

$50 is not too much. You probably spend that amount on weekly groceries or more.

Maybe, we could minimize the 'brain drain' by this...

Who knows...

Why pay money ? I am also Pakistani citizen

15% Pakistan GDP depend on remittance , is this not enough ?

We should concentrate to eliminate corruption , establishment of rule of law and democracy ,human rights and justic in Pakistan , in that case Pakistan will be one of richest states of world (Golden Sparrow)

I think expartiate Pakistani are only hope of better Pakistan

Rather than questioning anyone's patriotism, it would be better to think about why this figure is so high?

To rely on remittances for such a huge amount exposes Pakistan to vagaries of other governments and multinational corporations. It means that a large number of Pakistani citizens are giving up thie rmost productive years of their lives in the service of other countries.

For every dollar that is sent from abraod, rest assured that the host countries derive several dollars worth of benefits. The money that is sent back is largely used for consumption of personal and luxury goods, not lasting economic benefit.

This creates incentives for social ills (e.g. smuggling, brain drain for the next generation) while ensuring that the population remaining in Pakistan remains dependent on foreign inflows.

Adding a $50 surcharge per plane ticket will do nothing to change any of that.

It is not about patriotism, it is simple economics, my dear Sir.

$50 is nothing...You could spend more on the date..


Instead of abolishing this law, we could charge everyone $50...

$50 will not be spent on government luxuries rather it will be used on education and paying off debt. Can we use that remittance to pay off our debt?
Here comes the economics--That remittance more likely goes to service sector...If we stick upon remittance and the trickle down effect on economy, it will take decades to pay off our debt.

 

[SekrutYakhni]

Personally, the reason behind this thread and collecting money (theoretically) was to spend on education and paying off debt.

All I will say here is that what you have wirtten is way too simplistic for me to even discuss any further. It just does not work that way Sir.

Yes, sir--You are right.

I can see that your heart is in the right place, but please remember this old saying, whcih applies equally to people as well as nations:
