PAKISTAN VISA

I need a visa to Pakistan... HELP what do I do?!!

As a tour company we have to meet certain obligations under the advice of Pakistan government when assisting travellers to Pakistan. We are true and honest in everything we do and believe in utmost transparency.

An invitation letter (LOI) can only be issued by us when you are undertaking our tour services. It is our preference that if you are wanting an LOI from us and are NOT on one of our longer set tours that you book into a minimum of multiple Lahore short tours, or multi day Punjab or Gilgit area tours or custom trips AND a stay at one of our homestays if possible. Contact us to discuss your particular situation and we will suggest options that best suit your travel plans.

What do I need and how do I get them??
- Karakoram Bikers helps travellers from many different countries all across the globe who are applying from within their own and outside their own countries for the visa to travel to Pakistan.

- We provide travellers who are using our services, with the letter of invitation and our company Tourism licence, as well as advice and support for the duration of the visa application process.

- All visa applciations are now processed digitally via the NADRA online application system. To note * the visa themeselves are usually still assessed via the closest or one of the closest emabssies to your residential location but all use the online system. One downside from this is that it is now often almost impossible to follow up with specific processing staff if there are any issues that arise.

- From one country to the next the basic document requirements are the same, however the process in one country may not at all match the process in another. It’s important to check on the website of the Embassy or Pakistan High Commission in your country of residence and see the list of requirements as well as what may be listed on the Nadra Evisa system. Some applicants are asked for an Invitarion Letter and other further documentation while others aren't. It is never clear as to why one persons process is different to another.

- Unfortunately for some the process does seem to be laborious and very stressful. By putting together all the information we have garnered through our experiences we hope to help relieve some of the pain in the process. And of course we will update this page whenever new information comes to hand. Below is a general list of commonly asked questions that can relate to many situations.

Pakistan EVisa and Visa on Arrival.

In March 2019, the Ministry of Interior started rolling out the Pakistan Evisa and Visa On Arrival online system. This is a now a quite relaible and solid process. On the surface the requirements seem to be quite open with options of merely using a hotel booking as evidence of travel. However it is not always that easy. Some travellers have had great success with the Evisa system and have received their tourist visa in as little as 24/48 hours without issues, while others have had requests for more information or were told to provide an invitation letter and were then approved. It is still a somewhat unpredicatable process.

North Bikers Pakistan have been getting many requests from travellers who have tried to use the online system with just hotel bookings and failed. Many travellers were told to provide an invitation letter from a tour company. This has happened via a variety of different countries and does not seem to be restricted to any particular embassy. The process is still variable and unpredictable, like most things with Pakistan travel!
