Omani passport holders can enter Pakistan without a visa for stays up to 90 days. This visa-free arrangement is in effect for 2026 and covers tourism, business, and transit. Just show up with a valid passport and a return ticket.
Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your intended departure date from Pakistan | Your passport needs at least 6 months of validity from the day you plan to leave Pakistan. Airlines check this at check-in — if your passport expires sooner, you will be denied boarding. Carry a photocopy of the bio-data page separately. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from Pakistan | Immigration officers at Pakistani airports routinely ask for a confirmed onward or return ticket. Have a printed copy or a screenshot of your booking ready. A flexible ticket or a refundable fare works if your plans are uncertain. | Recommended |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation letter | Carry a hotel reservation 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. A simple booking printout or an email from your host suffices. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Sufficient money for your stay | Have access to at least $200–$300 USD in cash or on a card for your trip. Officers rarely ask, but if they do, showing a bank statement or a credit card with available credit works. ATMs are widely available in major cities. | Recommended |
No visa needed — but be prepared
While there's no visa, immigration officers can still ask for proof of funds or onward travel. Keep a return ticket and a hotel booking handy to avoid delays.
