Service Overview

Pakistan Online Visa (e-Visa)

Foreign nationals can apply to visit Pakistan through the online visa system. After applying and paying online, applicants receive a Visa Grant Notice by email, which serves as the visa — there is no need to send documents to an embassy.

Key Points

  • Apply fully online through Pakistan’s official visa portal
  • Pay the fee online by card during the application
  • Receive and print the Visa Grant Notice (your visa)

Good to Know

  • Categories include tourist, business and other visa types.
  • Some nationalities are eligible for e-visa or visa-on-arrival facilitation.
  • Requirements depend on nationality and visa category.

What this means for you

Pakistan’s online visa system lets foreign nationals apply for a visa to visit Pakistan (tourism, business, family and more) without going to an embassy in person. Applicants create an account, choose the correct visa category, and upload the required documents. People of Pakistani origin may instead be eligible for a POC or NICOP rather than a visa.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • Choosing the wrong visa category for the purpose of travel.
  • Using look-alike “Pakistan visa” websites instead of the official portal.
  • Uploading unclear documents or an invalid passport photo.

How to verify you are on the official channel

Apply only on the official Pakistan Online Visa System (visa.nadra.gov.pk). Ignore third-party “visa agents” charging extra.
