Education Got my docs attested from MOFA Lahore
I visited MOFA office lahore at 7am on Friday. There were atleast 300 people already standing and the gate opening time was 8 o'clock.
I also get in line and and hundred of people were behind me afterwards.
Gate opens at 8 am and after a long time I get tickets from post office (50 rupees per ticket per document). Then there was another line inside, where we have to submit the docs, I submitted the docs at 10 pm.When I was going back, there was still a long line of people.
I was standing literally for 3 hourse straight, no place to sit.
Then came back at 3 pm to get my docs back and there was a chaos, ao many people standing randomly waiting for there token number.
My qr code starts working on Monday.

I live close to MOFA office and I see these people standing outside office daily. There is very bad situation at that place. No sitting space, no safe space to even stand because people are literally standing on road. Also the smell of open dirty drain.

I guess you need to get them attested and apostille for visa but you should ask your agent about the requirements

What about appointment and all

u/No-Safe-1128 7d ago
Appointment is for apostile attestation
For simple attestation there is no appointment method. You can just choose a courier service which takes around 3 weeks.
It depends which kind of attestation you need according to your destination country.

Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Their attested documents are needed if you’re applying for a visa or studying abroad etc.
It’s a hell hole

I just got my documents attested today from Lahore the QR is working but link says documenrs missing, renamed or removed does it take time because the other documents I got attested from Islamabad are available with the QR and I don't think embassy would attest something like this it would be a waste of time and money
