Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| eVisa application Apply before travel | Apply for a Pakistan eVisa at visa.nadra.gov.pk at least 7–10 days before departure. The online form asks for a scanned passport photo, passport bio page, and a travel itinerary. Approval takes 3–5 working days for most nationalities.Apply for eVisa | Required |
| Valid passport Must be valid on arrival | Your Greek passport must be valid for at least 6 months from your date of entry into Pakistan. Airlines check this at check-in — if your passport expires sooner, you will be denied boarding. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Required for entry | Immigration at Islamabad, Karachi, and Lahore airports always asks for a confirmed onward or return ticket. A printed copy or a screenshot on your phone works — just have it ready before you reach the counter. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or invitation letter | Border officers may ask where you are staying. A hotel confirmation email or a letter from a host in Pakistan (with their CNIC number) is usually enough. Keep a copy on your phone. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show you can support yourself | Officers rarely ask, but having a bank statement or credit card showing at least $500 USD equivalent removes any doubt. ATMs in Pakistan dispense PKR, but cash dollars are useful for taxis and tips. | Recommended |
Passport validity is critical
Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from your entry date. If it expires sooner, your eVisa will be rejected. Renew before applying.
