The Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) Immigration Unit apprehended a passenger at Karachi Airport who was attempting to travel to Kenya using counterfeit travel documents. During the immigration clearance process, officials uncovered a fake Canadian visa and a forged Greek driving license in the traveler’s possession.
Preliminary investigations revealed that the individual had previously entered Greece illegally in 2008 via Iran and Turkey and was now attempting to reach Greece again, this time by routing through Doha with unlawful documentation. The absence of any official record of his international travel further raised suspicions among authorities.

During initial interrogation, the passenger admitted to purchasing the fake visa and other forged documents from an agent named Tanveer for Rs750,000. The FIA has initiated further investigations to trace the network behind the production and distribution of these counterfeit documents.
Officials have reiterated their commitment to curbing illegal immigration attempts and advised travelers to ensure the authenticity of their documents to avoid serious legal consequences.
