eVisa is the only option
Chilean passport holders cannot get a visa on arrival for Pakistan. You must apply and receive approval before you travel. No exceptions.

What happens at the border
1
Apply for the eVisa online
Go to visa.nadra.gov.pk and fill out the application. Upload a scanned copy of your passport bio page, a passport-sized photo, and your travel details. Pay the fee online (typically around $60–$100 depending on nationality). Processing takes 3–5 business days, sometimes longer.
2
Receive and print your eVisa
Once approved, you'll get an email with the eVisa PDF. Print a copy and save it on your phone. The visa is linked to your passport number — no sticker needed.
3
Prepare your documents for arrival
At the airport (likely Islamabad or Karachi), head to the 'Foreigners' queue. Have your passport, printed eVisa, return ticket, and hotel booking ready. Immigration officers may ask for proof of funds — have a bank statement or credit card handy.
4
Go through immigration
Hand over your documents. The officer will stamp your passport and note the allowed stay (usually 30 days). Keep the eVisa printout with your passport — you may need it for hotel check-ins.
