In an effort to enhance tourism, many countries opted to introduce an electronic visa system. Facilitating the visa application process means that more and more tourists are interested in visiting a particular country. Pakistan came to the same conclusion, which is why it recently changed its visa policy. As a result, the citizens of 175 countries can now apply for a Pakistan eVisa online. That should give a boost to the country’s tourism, as well as its economy.
How to find out if you are eligible
Since there are only 15 nationalities that do not have access to Pakistan’s electronic visa, your chances are high. Even so, to make sure if you are eligible or not, you can do some research on Pakistan’s visa policy and find out if your country of origin is on the right list. Many visa services have a tool specifically designed to provide that information. You can find the information you need with just two clicks.
How to apply for a Pakistan visa online?
Once your eligibility is established, all you have to do at that point is to fill in an online application form. If you chose the right visa service (make sure to check out some reviews), you should have an easy time going through an online form. Plus, chances are that you get customer support, which any respectable visa service will provide.
Nevertheless, before you go ahead and fill in that form, you must make sure that you meet the requirements. While an online process of getting a visa is less demanding than a visa application process at the Pakistani embassy, you still need to put together some documents and information necessary during the operation.
A Pakistan eVisa does not require much. First of all, you need a valid passport. It must remain as such for at least another 6 months from the date of arrival in Pakistan. But, as we all know, getting a passport is not a challenging task these days. A digital photo of yourself is also necessary, one that was taken in the last three months.
Another requirement is proof of accommodation. You can either produce a hotel booking confirmation, or a letter of invitation written by family/friends if you decide to stay with them during your trip.
Other requirements include a travel itinerary, a return flight ticket, valid e-mail address, and a method of payment that allows online payments. Also, if you are a legal resident of a country other than the one of origin, you are required to have proof of legal residence. For example, if you are an Argentinian citizen who legally resides in the United States and you want to apply for a Pakistan eVisa from the US, you need a document that attests you are a legal US resident.
We must urge you to pay close attention to the information you provide in your application form. You are not allowed to make any mistakes. Even a simple typo can invalidate the entire document. To avoid wasting any time and money on a new application process, check the correctness and the accuracy of the information given.
As you can see, an online application process to get a Pakistan eVisa is a lot easier than going to the nearest Pakistani embassy and submit an application there. This applies to all countries that release electronic visas. The process is short, you can apply from the comfort of your own home at any hour of day or night, and it takes less of your energy. Plus, it is affordable as well. You receive your Pakistan eVisa in just a few days, and all you have to do is to print it out before departure.
