  • 🇵🇰 Pakistan is still a country opening up to tourism, and as such, it has many tourist-unfriendly rules and regulations that make simple tasks a bit more cumbersome. One of these happens to be a SIM card. Pakistan has a rule that all phones brought to Pakistan from abroad need a tax paid on them in order to be used in Pakistan. If not, after 60 days, the phone will be banned from Pakistani phone networks. This doesn't make sense for tourists because we are only here for short term stays, but alas, it is what it is. Because this is my second trip in Pakistan, my 60 days had passed, and so I decided to purchase a cheap, second hand phone to use as a hotspot device. I'll be traveling to Pakistan many times this year, and so I figured, why not make the investment. Hope you enjoy.

    IMPORTANT UPDATE, PLEASE DO NOT SKIP:
    I have decided to move my non-Vietnam travel content to a second channel. If you enjoy these travel videos, please subscribe to Chris Lewis 2.0 (second travel channel):
    ua-cam.com/channels/oqGJPtvsPpALlhtqB1lcHA.htmlfeatured
    After a lot of thinking, I have decided to keep this current channel a Vietnam channel, and use this second channel as a travel channel. Good news? Same content as before, and double the amount. You'll get Vietnam videos plus travel videos, just on two different channels. The next few videos will still be on this channel, but then I will begin switching over in about a week. Cheers!

      And yes the phone tax thingy by the govt is so full of crap. What if im on a more than 2 month vacation to pakistan now for an additional month i have to buy another phone. This happens no where in the world but in pakistan due to such atupid acts by the govt. If im a reseller bringing in more than 5 to 10 phones its understandable but the phone which im using for myself should be allowed to operate. And then they have extremely silly tax prices. I wonder who came up with this extremely stupid idea.

    • @Reckless-mindfulness
      @Reckless-mindfulness 2 роки тому +3

      it was not like this until a few years back but as a lot of Pakistan including me work/study abroad and every years people brought few high end phones for family and friend, at one point most of the Pakistani market was saturated by non-taxed phones from abroad and people are bring them in bag loads. so the Govt start taxing it. but for people who are just there for a few months it works.

  • @Shakeel_._Ahmed
    @Shakeel_._Ahmed 2 роки тому +76

    So Pakistan has a significant gap between it's imports and exports, which is something the govt wants to reduce. It's increased exports, but also heavily taxes what it considers luxury imports, like phones for example. This makes high-end phones very expensive in Pakistan. Now contrary to the data, there is a lot of money circulating in Pakistani pockets that isn't accounted for and there is a huge demand for luxury goods. This has led to opportunist people smuggling in phones - mostly expats returning to Pakistan. People would by brand new phones, take them to Pakistan and sell them, knowing that you could make a good profit.
    Hence the govt introduced this silly rule. The rule works though - people now either pay taxes, or their phones stop working. Also at the same time, domestic mobile phone manufacturing has sky rocketed. Pakistan has now become an exporter of mobile phones. Short term this is annoying for people, long term it's a model to self sufficiency and should be replicated with tens of thousands of other products.

    I disagree with your stance that Indian people are the way they are because the country is more developed and business oriented. I’m speaking as someone from America, living in NY. I have many Pakistani and Indian friends. Pakistani people are definitely more chill. Both equally work hard, but I noticed Indians are more opportunists. Their friendships with you usually revolves around what benefits they might receive, financial, connections, etc. Where Pakistani people usually have more of a genuine friendship. It’s definitely a cultural thing. Not saying Indians people are bad, or even trying to disrespect them. But again, this isn’t necessarily true for all Indians or Pakistanis.

This is what is done in my city of 1 million. People r also fined if seen throwing trash & there's a no burning ban. I'm sure this will help any community/country.

      I mean it's not easy to scam youtubers anymore because their face is published and everyone knows where they work so the Pakistani media will destroy that salesman within a few days lol. I'm a British Pakistani and when I visit I would expect to get scammed harder than a gora lol

      Buying phone from a shopkeeper is different than buying used cellphone from an Individual person so There is no chance for Chris to worry about. Second he is a foreigner , third he is a UA-camr and has video proof too. so why should he be afraid? Doesn't make any sense to me.

Your fluent in mandarin or Cantonese (not sure which one it is, or both lol) and I would love to see you go and speak with the locals in china and explore!! Is there a reason why you don’t want to go a explore and make some content there?

    Hey Chris,
    You are amazing and a big wow for your urdu speaking skill.
    I also live in usa.
    The foreign mobile phones dont work after 60 days in pakistan as its govt's tax policy on phones from outside pakistan.
    For this one needs to pay tax on your phone or need to buy new or used phone from pakistan.
    I know Its very annoying and wierd for foreigners.
    I request the govt to come with solution to this.
    I hope our people are taking care well of you and you are having fun in pakistan.

    Investment coming and now pakistan is exporting mobiles plus in few months the rates of mobiles will go 35-40 %down according to a report coz local manufacturing had increased a lot, Only apple is left which doesn't have a plant in Pakistan otherwise all the major mobile brands have setup their factories in Pakistan

    Chris, I have an idea for you: I hate to see so unnecessary littering all over. Use your influence, and gather a voluntary local group on ytube or Facebook and get the trash bags and forks and brooms ready and pitch in and pickup all the plastic and trash on the beach there or something like that. Would not only make for a nice channel but also possible inspiration for them to Kickstart a culture to volunteer and help their country from grassroots. If doesn't make sense, well... will keep thinking for some video ideas.... chao

      @@gloriaa.garcia3985 yeah, I am seeing a great potential for them. People are wonderful, but I feel they may be lacking a willpower to get started. I believe once they rely on themselves (rather than the system, if any and they lack resources), and cleanup once, then they will be impressed with "new" world around them that they would like. And hopefully, that will induce cultural change to keep it clean and organized, and will have some psychological fulfillment that comes with volunteerism. I have been so impressed with Columbia and Sri Lanka how clean they looked for the most part, in videos I haveseen, though those countries are not wealthy either.
