| Valid passport Must be valid on arrival | Your 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 officers at Pakistani airports routinely ask for proof of onward travel. Have a printed or digital copy of your return or onward ticket ready. Without it, you may be refused entry. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Recommended | Carry a hotel booking confirmation or a letter of invitation from your host in Pakistan. Immigration may ask where you are staying, especially if you arrive without a pre-booked hotel. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Recommended | Have bank statements or a credit card showing you can cover your stay. While not always checked, officers can ask for proof of sufficient funds — around $200–$300 USD per week is a safe estimate. | Recommended |
Passport validity is strict
Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from the day you enter Pakistan. If it's even one day short, your eVisa will be rejected. Check your passport's expiry date before applying.
Keep digital copies of everything
Save your eVisa PDF, passport bio page, return ticket, and hotel booking as screenshots on your phone. Also email them to yourself. If you lose your printed copies, you can still show them on your phone.
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. Upload a scanned copy of your passport bio page, a recent passport-sized photo, and your travel itinerary. Pay the fee online with a credit or debit card. Processing usually takes 3–5 business days.
2
Receive and print your eVisa
Once approved, you'll get an email with your eVisa PDF. Print a copy and save a digital version on your phone. You'll need to show it at immigration on arrival.

Arrive at a Pakistani airport
Most travellers fly into Islamabad (ISB), Karachi (KHI), or Lahore (LHE). At immigration, join the 'Foreigners' queue. Hand over your passport, printed eVisa, and return ticket. The officer may ask about your accommodation and purpose of visit. Answer clearly and calmly.
4
Get your passport stamped
The officer will stamp your passport with the entry date and the duration of stay (typically up to 30 days for eVisa). Check the stamp before leaving the counter. Keep the eVisa copy with your passport for the duration of your trip.
