Pakistan Suspends Visa Prior to Arrival Program

Launched in 2024, the Visa Prior to Arrival (VPA) program allowed citizens of 126 countries to obtain a free multi-entry 90-day tourist or business visa.

Travelers are encouraged to apply for a standard eVisa which incurs higher fees and more administrative requirements, dependent on nationality.

Processing times may take up to 14 days.

It is unclear whether the suspension is temporary or permanent.
