| Valid passport Must cover entire stay | Your passport needs at least one blank page for the visa sticker. Pakistan does not enforce a 6-month validity rule — just make sure it covers your full stay. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Checked at check-in | Airlines flying into Pakistan will ask for a confirmed onward or return ticket at check-in. Immigration officers at Islamabad, Karachi, and Lahore also routinely check this. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or invitation letter | Immigration may ask where you're staying. A hotel booking confirmation or a letter from your host in Pakistan works fine. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Cash, card, or bank statement | Officers rarely ask, but having a bank statement showing at least $500–$1,000 USD or a credit card with available limit covers you if questioned. | Recommended |

Passport validity counts from entry date
