Passport validity counts from entry date
Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from the day you land in Pakistan, not from your departure date. If it expires sooner, renew it before applying.
eVisa is single entry only
The standard eVisa allows one entry. If you leave Pakistan (even to a neighbouring country), you'll need a new visa to re-enter.
