Pakistan Visa and Travel News
Since late February, Pakistan has allowed travelers holding a valid visa to complete their disembarkation card online through the Pak Identity app (Pak-ID Mobile App). The move is intended to streamline arrival procedures.
Launched in the summer of 2024 to facilitate travel to Pakistan, the “Visa Prior to Arrival” (VPA) program, which allowed citizens of 126 countries to quickly obtain a free visa, has been unavailable since January 1, 2026. In the absence of any official announcement regarding this suspension, affected travelers must now apply for a “standard” paid e-Visa, which involves higher fees and more extensive administrative requirements.
From August 14, 2024, tourists and business travelers from 126 countries will benefit from free visas to visit Pakistan. Discover the list of countries concerned.
