You should have a UK employer that will sponsor you and apply a work permit on your behalf...it is not you who will apply for the WP. Once WP is granted then you can apply for an entry clearance (in Pakistan) and attach the WP issued

This is near to IMPOSSIBLE... No one would sponsor you for WP (Pak or Ind). Though, exceptions are there...

JD you have not given any idea of the skills you possess that you hope might encourage an employer to apply for a WP for you.

It might be helpful to post that sort of information, because members of this Board might then be able to say anything from ... no way would you get a WP for that sort of job .... through to ... those skills are on the Occupation Shortage List .... or something in between those two extremes.

If you have skill in the areas of shortage occupation list in the UK.
(Search in this forum you will find shortage occupation list in the UK)

AND
You have been working for quite a few years (say 5 years) in well known MNc in your countries (NOT national companies I think you know the reason, why ?) than the chance that a british companies is willing to sponsor you for WP is quite good.

OTHERWISE
the chance is very slim (if not zero).

EXCEPTION :
- Miracle could happen, who knows
- You have relatives in the UK who own companies and were willing to sponsor you, do anything s/he could to get you WP.
