## Evidence timeline

- **Current official route — India: Pakistani ordinary passports require regular visa in advance** (Visa required)
  India's eVisa portal directs Pakistani-passport holders and persons of Pakistani origin to apply for a regular visa at an Indian mission.
  - The eVisa portal says Pakistani-passport holders and persons of Pakistani origin must apply for a regular visa at an Indian mission.
  - The current official gateway says all existing valid visas issued to Pakistani nationals, except medical, long-term, diplomatic and official visas, stood revoked immediately from 27 April 2025; medical visas were valid only until 29 April 2025. This record does not infer that a new ordinary visitor visa is presently grantable.
  - This is an advance regular/paper visa route, not eVisa or visa on arrival.
  - Purpose-specific, security, port, passport, registration, protected-area, transit, crew, residence, work, diplomatic/official-document, and admissibility conditions remain applicable.
