Rules for entry and stay in Pakistan

Pakistan operates a digital visa system. Most travelers must obtain entry authorization before departure through the official Pakistan Online Visa System (POVS). Boarding may be refused if a traveler does not have a valid visa approval before arrival.

Security conditions vary by region. Some territories may be restricted to foreigners or require special permits.

Do you need a visa to enter Pakistan?

Most foreign citizens need a visa to visit Pakistan.

Pakistan currently offers two main ways to obtain permission to enter:

electronic visa (e-Visa) issued online
visa issued by an embassy or consulate

⚠️ Starting January 1, 2026, Pakistan suspended the free Visa Prior to Arrival (VPA) program for 126 nationalities. Travelers must now apply for a regular paid e-Visa before travel. Traditional visa on arrival at the airport is generally not available.

Pakistan electronic visa (e-Visa)

The e-Visa is the main entry document for tourism and business travel. Processing usually takes up to about 7 working days depending on nationality and application review.
