The payment problem: how to pay for your exam in Pakistan
To claim reimbursement, you need to pay for the exam first and submit a payment receipt. But most Pakistani students hit a wall here: Pearson VUE (the platform used for AWS and Azure exams) shows the error “The credit card payment option is not available for this order” for Pakistani candidates.
This is where Voucher Paisa comes in. We sell official Pearson VUE exam voucher codes in PKR. You pay us via JazzCash, EasyPaisa, or bank transfer — no international card needed. We email you an official voucher code, you use it to book your exam on Pearson VUE, and your payment receipt from us serves as proof for the reimbursement application.

Frequently asked questions
Do I get the PKR 70,000 before or after passing the exam?
After. The reimbursement is only available upon successful completion of the certification. You pay for the exam first, pass it, then submit your certificate and payment receipt to claim the reimbursement.
Can I use a Voucher Paisa receipt as proof of payment for the reimbursement?
Yes. When you buy a voucher from us, we provide a payment receipt showing the amount paid in PKR for the Pearson VUE exam voucher. This receipt, along with your official exam completion certificate, is what you submit to the program portal for reimbursement.
Is AWS certification covered under the PM scheme?
Yes. AWS is listed as one of the eligible providers. All AWS certifications delivered through Pearson VUE are included — Cloud Practitioner, Solutions Architect, Developer, SysOps, DevOps Engineer, Security, and more.
Is Microsoft Azure certification covered?
Yes. Microsoft is one of the primary eligible providers. Azure certifications (AZ-900, AZ-104, AZ-204, AZ-305, etc.) and Microsoft 365 certifications are included.
How do I pay for my Pearson VUE exam if my card is blocked?
Buy an official exam voucher from Voucher Paisa in PKR. Pay via JazzCash, EasyPaisa, or bank transfer. We email you the voucher code, you use it at Pearson VUE checkout, and the card payment screen is bypassed entirely. See our Pearson VUE credit card error guide for the full explanation.
Can I claim reimbursement for more than one certification?
Only one reimbursement claim is allowed per candidate per program cycle. Choose your certification carefully — pick the one most relevant to your career goals and most valued by employers.
What documents do I need to submit for reimbursement?
Typically: proof of certification (your official pass certificate), payment receipt for the exam fee, academic transcripts, CNIC, and any other documents required by the portal. Check the official program portal for the exact current requirements.
