What you need

  • Passport valid at least 6 months beyond entry with one blank page
  • Digital passport photo and scanned bio-data page uploaded during the online application
  • Proof of onward/return ticket
  • Proof of accommodation or invitation letter from a Pakistani host
  • Proof of sufficient funds (bank statement)
  • No biometrics for the online application itself; fingerprints/photo captured on arrival
  • Travel health insurance recommended

Visa types

  • Tourist e-Visa - single entry, up to 30 days, extendable to 90 days inside Pakistan via the Ministry of Interior
  • Business e-Visa - requires invitation letter from a registered Pakistani company
  • Family Visit e-Visa - requires invitation from a Pakistani national/resident host
  • Longer-term work/study visas require full embassy processing outside the e-visa system.

How to apply online

  • Apply through Pakistan's official online visa system, creating an account, completing the form, and uploading your passport, photo, and supporting documents (invitation letter for business/family categories). Pay the fee online by card. Approval is emailed as a PDF e-visa - print it and carry it with your passport, as no physical sticker is issued; it's checked electronically and on paper at the port of entry.

Fees & processing time

  • Tourist e-Visa: approx. USD 35-60 depending on stay length, paid online by card
  • Standard processing: 7-10 business days, though family-visit categories can take longer pending host verification
  • Apply at least 3-4 weeks before travel, as there is no guaranteed express service

Tips for Germany travelers

  • Apply well in advance, especially for family-visit e-visas requiring host verification
  • Double-check your invitation letter matches your application exactly - discrepancies are a common rejection reason
  • Register your trip with the German embassy in Islamabad and check the current Federal Foreign Office travel advisory, as border regions with Afghanistan and parts of Balochistan and KPK carry heightened security warnings
  • Carry a printed copy of your e-visa in addition to the digital version
