2. where in pakistan I shud get visa? and which country counslate?

3. what are requirements for this visa?

There is lots of information on schengen visas in this forum already.

On arrival (taking up residence) in the UK, you can apply for the Schengen visa at the Embassy of the country you wish to visit. Requirements are Embassy Specific. Read other posts or go to the Embassy website for further details.

I have read some where that only permanent residents can apply within UK for schengen visa.
As I will b on HSMP I have to always get visa from embassy in pakistan not in UK

Root,

People with legal residence permit (like HSMP) in UK can apply for visa of any country at the country's embassy / high commision / consulate in UK.

So don't worry about it.
