Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| eVisa application Pakistan eVisa | Apply for your Pakistan eVisa at the official NADRA portal before departure. Processing takes 7–10 business days for most nationalities. Print the approval letter and carry it with your passport — immigration at Islamabad, Lahore, and Karachi will check it before stamping entry.Apply for eVisa | Required |
| Valid passport Czech passport | Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your intended departure date from Pakistan. Airlines enforce this strictly — if your passport expires sooner, you will be denied boarding in Prague or any connecting hub. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of onward travel | Immigration officers at Pakistani airports routinely ask for a confirmed return or onward ticket. Have a printed copy or a digital version on your phone showing your departure from Pakistan within the eVisa validity period. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or invitation letter | Carry a hotel reservation or a letter of invitation from your host in Pakistan. Immigration may ask where you are staying — having a printed booking confirmation avoids delays at the counter. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Bank statement or cash | Have a recent bank statement showing at least $500 USD or equivalent, or carry cash in USD or euros. Immigration rarely checks this for short visits, but it is better to have proof ready. | Recommended |
Apply early — processing can be slow
The eVisa portal sometimes takes the full 7 working days, especially during peak travel seasons. Don't wait until the last minute. Apply at least 2 weeks before your departure.
Keep digital copies of everything
Save your eVisa PDF, passport scan, and flight booking in a cloud folder (Google Drive, iCloud) and on your phone. If you lose the printout, you can still show the digital copy at immigration.
What happens at the border
1
Apply for the eVisa online
Go to the official Pakistan eVisa portal (visa.nadra.gov.pk) and fill out the application. You'll need to upload a passport photo, a scan of your passport bio page, and your accommodation details. Pay the fee online — it's around $60–$80 depending on your nationality. Processing takes 3–7 working days.
2
Receive and print your eVisa
Once approved, you'll get an email with your eVisa PDF. Print at least two copies — one to show at check-in and one for immigration on arrival. Also save a digital copy on your phone.
3
Arrive at a Pakistani airport
Most travellers fly into Islamabad (ISB), Karachi (KHI), or Lahore (LHE). At immigration, present your passport, printed eVisa, and return ticket. The officer will stamp you in — usually for up to 30 days.
