| Valid passport Must cover your entire stay | Your Kazakhstan passport must be valid for at least the full duration of your stay in Pakistan. Airlines check this at check-in — if your passport expires before you leave, you will be denied boarding. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure | Immigration officers at Pakistani airports routinely ask for a confirmed onward or return ticket. Have a printed copy or a digital version ready on your phone. Without one, you risk being refused entry and sent back on the next flight. | Required |

Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from your entry date. Airlines check this before boarding. If it's close, renew first.
