Overseas Pakistani Chat Room — ghar ki baatein, pardes mein
Riyadh, Dubai, Doha, London, Toronto: wherever work has taken you, there’s a room full of people who speak your language. Free desi chat for overseas Pakistanis.
A bit of home after a long shift
Life abroad can be lonely: long shifts, shared rooms, and family in a different time zone. HiHelloBye is a place to talk in Urdu, Punjabi, Pashto or Roman Urdu with people who get it. Chat with friends back home in Pakistan, or with other Pakistanis in Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar, Oman, Kuwait, the UK, Europe, the USA and Canada.
Talk about the things that matter abroad
- Work and visas: jobs, iqama and residency questions, and advice from people who have been through it.
- Sending money home: experiences with remittance services and exchange rates.
- Ramadan and Eid away from home: share iftar plans and Eid greetings.
- Cricket nights: watch Pakistan play with fans in your own time zone.
- Food: where to find real biryani and nihari in your city.
Please don't share passport, iqama or bank details in chat. Only verify official matters with your embassy or employer.
