Passengers are not to be offloaded on a verbal order alone under the FIA passenger offloading rules described by ProPakistani. The report, published on 12 October 2026, says the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA), the federal agency that staffs immigration counters, has put those instructions in a standing order of 12 pages for airports, seaports and dry ports. No other official text was available with that report. The order is not set out line by line there.
What the report says
The story is brief, and it is clear about the limit that matters. A new standing order is in place, it runs to 12 pages, and it covers immigration procedure at airports, seaports and dry ports. Offloading, in plain words, means an officer stops a passenger at the counter so the journey does not go ahead. The point ProPakistani leads with is that a spoken order, on its own, cannot be the reason.
No FIA officer is quoted. What is public in this telling is the site's summary, not the signed pages. Readers who need the procedure clause by clause will have to see the order itself.
Where verbal orders fit
A verbal order is a spoken instruction and nothing more. The ProPakistani account does not treat that speech as enough, by itself, to stop a passenger at an airport, a seaport or a dry port. The FIA passenger offloading rules, as the report describes them, close off that shortcut.
The report does not say what written step, if any, must now come first. It states the bar, and it stops there. Naming a form or a rank would go beyond what ProPakistani has published.
What travellers still cannot tell
The 12-page FIA standing order on passenger offloading is not printed in the story, so ordinary questions stay open. The dispatch gives no list of extra papers, no new place to complain, and no date for when airport staff were told to change how they work. Any of that could be inside the order. It is not in the report.
For a person flying out for work or study, or leaving by sea, the reported change is why an officer may stop them, not the cost of a ticket or a visa. ProPakistani has not described a rewrite of passport or baggage checks. Until the full text is public, the firm point is the one already reported: verbal orders alone are not grounds to offload a passenger. Families arranging a journey can treat only that limit as established.
