Frequently asked questions
Can I apply for a Pakistan eVisa if I have dual citizenship?
Yes, Canadian citizens with dual citizenship can apply for a Pakistan eVisa. However, you must use your Canadian passport for the application and travel to Pakistan.
What if my travel plans change after I receive my eVisa?
The Pakistan eVisa is valid for 3 months from the date of issue. If your travel dates change within this period, you can still use the same eVisa. However, if your new travel dates fall outside this validity period, you'll need to apply for a new eVisa.
Can I extend my stay in Pakistan beyond the 30 days allowed by the eVisa?
Generally, the Pakistan eVisa cannot be extended beyond 30 days. If you need to stay longer, you'll need to exit the country and apply for a new visa or explore other visa options through the Pakistani embassy.
Is travel insurance required for my Pakistan trip?
While travel insurance isn't mandatory for obtaining a Pakistan eVisa, we strongly recommend it to cover unexpected medical expenses or travel disruptions.
How does iVisa ensure the security of my personal information?
We use state-of-the-art encryption technology to protect your data. Our systems comply with international data protection standards, ensuring your information is safe throughout the application process.
