Before you travel
Essential tips.
Apply at least 2–3 weeks before travel to allow processing time and any follow-up requests.
Use only the official NADRA portal (visa.nadra.gov.pk) — do not use third-party websites claiming to process Pakistani visas.
Ensure your passport has at least 6 months of validity beyond your planned departure date from Pakistan.
Carry printed copies of your visa, hotel bookings, and tour operator details when entering Pakistan.
If trekking in restricted zones (near borders or high-altitude permit areas), ensure your tour operator has secured all relevant NOCs before your arrival.
Pakistan is on the list of required registration countries — upon arrival, all foreign visitors must register with the local police within 24 hours if staying in a private residence.
