Pakistan Relaxes Visa Policies for Tourists and Business Visitors from 120 Countries
Pakistan has launched a new simplified, free of charge electronic visa process designed to facilitate tourism and attract foreign investment to the country, for nationals of 120 countries.
Eligible travellers can obtain a visa pre-approval, called a Visa Prior to Arrival, via the Ministry of Interior’s online platform, at least 48 hours before their intended entry to Pakistan.
Once approved, they will be issued an electronic authorization (a copy of which must be presented upon arrival) which will allow them to travel to Pakistan and obtain an entry stamp for stays of up to 90 days with multiple entries.
Citizens of Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates do not need to apply for a Visa Prior to Arrival and can enter without prior approval under this program for tourism, business, or Sikh pilgrimage purposes.
