Pakistan has expanded its visa exemption arrangements with dozens of countries, although the facilities mainly apply to diplomatic and official passport holders.
The permitted visa-free stay varies depending on the country and agreement.
Under these arrangements, eligible passport holders can stay without a visa for periods ranging from one to three months.
The latest list covers several countries across different regions, including a number of Pakistan’s friendly states.
Which Countries Are Included?
The visa exemption arrangements cover Argentina, Azerbaijan, Bahrain, Bangladesh and Türkiye, among other countries.
The list also includes Egypt, Indonesia, Iran, Kuwait, Malaysia, Russia and Saudi Arabia.
Meanwhile, the United Arab Emirates, Thailand, Qatar and Nepal are also covered under Pakistan’s visa exemption agreements.
Therefore, the exact duration and eligibility depend on the relevant arrangement with each country.
FIA Asked to Follow Updated Visa List
The Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) and its relevant zones have been directed to follow the latest visa exemption list.
The updated arrangements will therefore guide immigration procedures for travellers covered by the agreements.
However, the exemption facilities primarily concern diplomatic and official passport holders.
As a result, the arrangements do not necessarily mean visa-free travel for Pakistani citizens holding ordinary passports.
Visa-Free Stay Varies by Country
The duration of permitted visa-free stays is not uniform across all countries.
Instead, the period ranges from one month to three months under the respective agreements.
This means eligible travellers should consider the specific conditions attached to their destination before making travel arrangements.
Pakistan’s latest visa exemption list includes countries from the Middle East, Asia, Europe and other regions.
The arrangements cover diplomatic and official passport holders, while the FIA has been instructed to follow the updated list.
For eligible travellers, the agreements provide visa-free access for limited periods, depending on the country concerned.
