|---|---|---|
| eVisa application Apply before travel | Apply for a Pakistan tourist eVisa at visa.nadra.gov.pk at least 7–10 days before departure.

| Valid passport Must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your intended stay | Your Croatian passport needs at least 6 months of remaining validity from the date you enter 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 officers at Islamabad, Karachi, and Lahore routinely ask for a confirmed onward or return flight. Have a printed copy or a screenshot of your booking ready — they will check the date matches your visa validity. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Recommended to carry | Hotel bookings or a letter of invitation from a host in Pakistan are commonly requested at immigration. If you are staying with friends or family, have them send you a scanned invitation letter with their CNIC number and address. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Recommended to carry | Carry a bank statement or credit card showing you can cover your stay — around $50–$100 USD per day is a safe benchmark. Officers rarely ask, but having it avoids delays if they do. | Recommended |
