| Valid passport Passport validity | Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your intended departure date from Pakistan. Airlines at Lima and connecting hubs check this before boarding. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of onward travel | Immigration at Pakistani airports routinely asks for a confirmed return or onward ticket. Have a printed copy or a screenshot ready on your phone. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or invitation letter | Border officers may ask where you're staying. A hotel confirmation or a letter from your host in Pakistan is enough. Keep a copy handy. | Recommended |

Apply early — processing can be slow
The eVisa processing time is 7–10 working days, but can stretch to 2 weeks or more during holidays or if your application has errors. Don't book non-refundable flights until you have the approved visa in hand.
Keep digital copies of everything
Save your eVisa approval, passport bio page, return ticket, and hotel booking as PDFs on your phone and in cloud storage. If you lose your printouts, you can still show them on your phone.
