Federal Minister for Interior and Narcotics Control Mohsin Naqvi on Thursday shared a video confirming the successful departure of Muhammad Tufail to Saudi Arabia after authorities resolved his documentation issues.
In a post on social media platform X, Naqvi said officials had earlier offloaded Tufail from a flight because he lacked a valid driving licence. Saudi authorities require a licence to employ a driver on a driver’s visa.
“Alhamdulillah, Muhammad Tufail, who was offloaded a few weeks ago while travelling to Saudi Arabia on a driver’s visa without a driving licence, has now departed with complete and valid documents,” Naqvi wrote.

“I was travelling to Saudi Arabia on a driver’s visa. Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi helped me obtain a driving licence, learn driving skills, and arrange my ticket,” Tufail said. “Now I am travelling with complete documents. Thank you, Mohsin Naqvi, sahib. Long live Pakistan.”
