The Pakistan Online Visa System is an official electronic portal administered by the National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA) on behalf of the Ministry of Interior. It allows citizens of over 170 eligible countries to apply for tourist, business, work, and family visit visas online without visiting a Pakistani embassy or consulate. Upon approval, you receive an Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA) that permits boarding and entry.

For tourist visa applications, travelers must provide proof of accommodation. This can be fulfilled either by submitting a confirmed hotel booking for the duration of your stay or by providing a formal Letter of Invitation (LOI) issued by a registered Pakistani tour operator or a host residing in Pakistan along with a copy of their Computerized National Identity Card (CNIC).

No third party or private service can guarantee visa issuance. The decision to grant a visa rests solely with the Ministry of Interior of the Government of Pakistan. NomadicMart is an independent commercial visa facilitator and is not affiliated with the Government of Pakistan or visa.nadra.gov.pk. Our service provides expert pre-submission review to prevent procedural delays.

Because security assessments and inter-agency verifications by Pakistani authorities can take longer than standard eVisas in other regions, we strongly recommend submitting your Pakistan eVisa application at least 2 to 3 weeks before your planned date of departure. Standard processing typically requires 7 to 10 business days.

Most popular tourist destinations in Gilgit-Baltistan (including Hunza Valley, Skardu, and Fairy Meadows) and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (such as Swat Valley) are open to foreign visitors on standard tourist visas without requiring special Non-Objection Certificates (NOCs). However, certain sensitive border areas near the Line of Control (LOC) or specific military zones remain restricted.
