Pakistan visa requirements

Whether you need a visa for Pakistan depends on your nationality and the purpose of your trip. Most visitors travel on the Pakistan eVisa, an online travel document that removes the need to visit an embassy or consulate in person. It covers tourism and family visits, business activities, and religious pilgrimage.

Start your application and iVisa will confirm exactly which Pakistan travel document you need based on your nationality and trip, then prepare, review, and file it for you.

General Pakistan visa requirements are:

Requirements verified against official government sources

  • Valid passport (with at least 6 months validity)
  • Recent photograph
  • Flight details and planned activities
  • Letter of invitation from host or confirmed hotel booking

  • The website and app are easy to use. I did find that the app did not give correct messages, only stating that the passport photo needed to be added - when in fact it was ok, but other docs were actually needed. Also, for Pakistan, it seems that an invitation letter is always needed. I originally planned to stay in a hotel to avoid the need to do that, but the government still required an invitation letter. Since I was visiting a friend, where the letter is always required for submitting, I figured I would cancel my hotel and just stay with him. Why not request the invitation letter in the beginning of the process and save some time. I did find that anyone I interacted with via email was very polite and quick turnaround on answers. I would use iVisa again for complete visa needs.

  • In the end what count is that I got the visa, but I kept receiving requests for integrations, some of which I had already sent earlier

  • Getting a visa for Pakistan is certainly not an easy process, and the constant rejection of applications was starting to become quite stressful, especially as the trip got worryingly close. Having ivisa on hand to talk through the requirements and where I was going wrong, was absolutely invaluable, and without their help, I'm not sure I would have had the visa through in time. Thank you for your help, and I will definitely be using you again, perhaps as soon as March, for Bangladesh!

Pakistan visa FAQs

What travelers commonly ask about Pakistan visas.

Still have questions?

Our visa experts are available 24/7 on chat, email, and WhatsApp.

What is the difference between an eVisa and a Visa on Arrival (VoA)?

The Pakistan eVisa is a pre-approved authorization you receive before you travel. The Visa on Arrival (VoA) has been suspended, and is no longer available.

What activities are permitted on an eVisa?

You can visit Pakistan with an eVisa to: Sightsee and explore tourist attractions; Visit friends and family; Business activities (meetings, conferences); Sikh pilgrimages. Important notes for business travelers: Most business applicants are now required to obtain their invitation letter through the official Pakistan E-Business Invitation Letter System. The inviting company in Pakistan must register and generate this for you online. If your country is on the "Business Visa List" (which includes most Western countries), you are eligible for an ETA (Electronic Travel Authorization) that is processed very quickly, often within 24 hours. You cannot engage in paid employment, missionary work, or journalistic activities without a specific category-based visa.

How will I receive the Pakistan eVisa?

Once approved, an Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA) will be sent to your email address. You must print this document and carry it with you. The actual visa/entry stamp will be placed in your passport by immigration officers at the Pakistani port of entry. If you've applied through iVisa, you can find a copy of your ETA in your dashboard.

How long can I stay in Pakistan with an eVisa?

The standard Tourist eVisa typically allows for a stay of up to 30 days (up to 60 days for some). However, the specific duration granted is at the discretion of the issuing officer. If you wish to stay longer, you can apply for an extension through the NADRA online portal while you are still inside Pakistan.

Where can I enter Pakistan with the eVisa?

This document is required for entry into the country by air, sea, and land at specific ports: Air: Islamabad Airport, Lahore Airport, Peshawar Airport, Karachi Airport, Quetta Airport, Multan Airport, Rahim Yar Khan Airport, Bahawalpur Airport, Faisalabad Airport, Gwadar Airport, and Sialkot Airport; Sea: Karachi Sea Port, Ghassbandar Sea Port, Port Bin Qasim, and Gwadar Sea Port; Land: Gubd Land Route, Chamman Land Route, Wahga Land Route, Torkham Land Route, Taftan Land Route, Sost Land Route, Wahga Railway Station, and Khokarapar Railway Station.

Do children/minors need their own Pakistan eVisa to enter the country?

Yes. Minors are also required to have this document to enter Pakistan; parents can apply on their behalf. With iVisa, we make it easy to apply as a family by clicking "Add another person" during our simplified online process.

What happens if my Pakistan eVisa application is denied?

If denied, the authorities usually cite reasons such as "incomplete documents" or "security concerns." Because Pakistan has strict entry requirements, even small errors can lead to rejection. iVisa provides expert review to minimize this risk, and we offer guidance on how to rectify issues if a re-application is necessary. iVisa also offers denial protection as an add-on to your application (optional).
