If you hold a Slovak passport, you'll need an eVisa to enter Pakistan in 2026. The entire application is online through the official government portal, and approval usually takes a few business days. Plan ahead — you'll need a valid passport, a return ticket, and a confirmed booking for your first night's stay.
Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| eVisa application Pakistan eVisa | Apply online at the Pakistan eVisa portal before departure. Processing takes 7–10 working days for most nationalities. Print the approval letter and carry a copy with you — immigration at Karachi and Islamabad will ask to see it.Apply for eVisa | Required |
| Valid passport Passport validity | Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your intended departure date from Pakistan. Airlines check this at check-in — if your passport expires sooner, you will be denied boarding. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of onward travel | Immigration officers at all Pakistani airports routinely ask for a confirmed return or onward ticket. If you cannot show one, you may be refused entry and sent back on the next flight. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or invitation letter | Have a hotel reservation or a letter of invitation from your host in Pakistan ready. Immigration may ask where you are staying — a printed booking confirmation works best. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Financial means | Carry evidence of sufficient funds for your stay — around $200–$300 USD per week is a safe benchmark. Bank statements or a credit card with a decent limit usually satisfy the officer. | Recommended |
eVisa is mandatory — no visa on arrival
Slovak passport holders cannot get a visa on arrival in Pakistan. You must apply for and receive an eVisa before your flight. Start the process at least 2 weeks ahead.
Passport validity counts from entry date
Your passport must be valid for 6 months from the day you land in Pakistan, not from your departure date. If it expires sooner, renew it before applying.
