Planning a trip to Pakistan? Before you pack your bags, one of the most important things you'll need to do is secure a Pakistan eVisa.

In this guide, we’ll walk you through the essentials of the Pakistan eVisa process, including processing times, required documentation, and tips to avoid common mistakes.

How long does it take to get a Pakistan eVisa?

Depending on your nationality and application completeness, the Pakistan eVisa processing time is up to 14 days.

We recommend applying at least one month before your departure so you have enough time to address issues during the process.

Mohammad Adil, former Pakistani Consulate officer:

“The Pakistan eVisa system is user-friendly and your application is generally processed quickly - but only when your documents are complete and accurate.”

Factors affecting the Pakistan eVisa processing time

Several factors can influence how long it takes to process your Pakistan eVisa:

  • Application volume: During peak travel seasons, processing times may be longer
  • Completeness of application: Ensuring all required documents are submitted correctly can speed up the process
  • Nationality: Processing times may vary slightly based on the applicant's country of origin

Required documents for a Pakistan eVisa

Before applying, gather the following documents to ensure a smooth application experience:

Document Type Description / Tips
✅ Passport Must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your stay
✅ Passport-sized Photo Digital copy in color with plain white background
✅ Travel Itinerary Flight tickets and hotel bookings or address of your host
✅ Invitation Letter Mandatory for business visits; should be on company letterhead
✅ Proof of Funds Recent bank statement or other financial evidence
✅ Travel Insurance Recommended; provides coverage during your trip

Femke Strietman, iVisa travel expert, adds:

"All documents must be uploaded in PDF or JPG format. Blurry or incomplete documents can delay your application or even result in rejection."

Expert tips to boost approval chances for the Pakistan eVisa

  1. Apply early: Don’t wait until the last minute, start at least 1 month before your trip.
  2. Double-check everything: Typos or mismatched data (like name or passport number) are a common reason for delays.
  3. Check file sizes: The Pakistan portal has upload limits, compress documents if needed.
  4. Use a desktop browser: The portal may not function well on mobile devices.
  5. Monitor email: Pakistan’s visa system communicates primarily through email—watch your inbox (and spam folder).
