Online application via visa.nadra.gov.pk
RequiredAll Pakistan visas are applied for online through NADRA's portal, there's no separate paper or in-person route. Choose "Entry" if you don't already hold a valid Pakistan visa. A single-entry Tourist/Visit visa for an individual stay under 3 months normally takes 7-10 working days to process; Afghan and Somali passport holders should expect about 4 weeks. If your application is sent back for review, the processing clock restarts from your resubmission date, and the application is cancelled outright if you don't resubmit within 7 days.
