| 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 ready on your phone. A flight reservation within 30 days of arrival works best. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or invitation letter | Carry a hotel confirmation or a letter 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 is enough. | Recommended |

eVisa only — no visa on arrival for Ukrainians
Ukrainians cannot get a visa on arrival in Pakistan. You must apply and receive approval before you travel. The eVisa is the only option for tourism or business visits.
Passport validity is strictly enforced
Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from your entry date. If it expires sooner, your eVisa will be rejected. Renew your passport first.
