Posts and Salaries
| Post | Vacancies | Advertised monthly salary |
| General Seamstress / Tailor | 27 | $200 – $250 |
| Designer | 1 | $500 – $600 |
| Sewing Equipment Technician | 1 | $500 – $600 |
| Embroidery Specialist | 1 | $200 – $250 |
| Total | 30 |
The advertised salaries are described as negotiable, and the final salary and payment frequency are settled in the employment contract — the advertisement does not fix them beyond the ranges above. Most of the demand is for seamstresses and tailors, so experienced garment workers form the core of this intake, while the single designer, technician and embroidery seats suit specialists with matching portfolios and machine skills.
What the Employer Offers
Successful applicants receive a long-term employment contract with a package that includes accommodation, health insurance, work visa assistance and reimbursement of commuting expenses. These are the benefits named in the recruitment reports for this demand. As with every overseas posting, candidates should read the actual contract before departure and confirm exactly what is covered, rather than relying on a summary.
The age band for this demand is 30 to 45 years, which is wider than many Gulf demands and opens the door for experienced mid-career garment workers, not just young applicants. Relevant professional experience and suitable qualifications are required for each category, with the designer and technician seats naturally expecting stronger specialist backgrounds.
How OEC Recruitment Works
OEC is a public-sector company under the Ministry of Overseas Pakistanis & Human Resource Development, set up to recruit Pakistani workers directly for foreign employers. There is no private agent in this chain: you register on OEC’s own portal, generate a payment slip ID (PSID), pay the official Rs. 500 fee through a bank app, ATM or branch, and submit your application. Your application is confirmed by SMS once the payment reaches OEC.
Two things deserve emphasis. First, the Rs. 500 PSID payment is the only official fee — OEC does not work through agents or sub-agents and never takes cash. Second, even after selection through OEC, workers still complete the normal protector registration with the Bureau of Emigration & Overseas Employment before departure, which is the legal safeguard for overseas employment from Pakistan.
Not the Same as the Earlier Tajikistan Round
Readers who follow this site may remember an earlier OEC Tajikistan post (sewer, technologist and mechanic roles). This is a different demand: Advertisement 221 covers garment roles — seamstresses, a designer, a sewing equipment technician and an embroidery specialist — with its own 5 November 2026 deadline. If you applied for the earlier round, this one needs a fresh application.
