Current access classification: **eVisa** — A visa applied for and issued electronically before travel.

This page concerns ordinary short visits unless an official source states otherwise. Authorities apply the current rule, and individual circumstances can change the applicable treatment.

## Evidence timeline

- **Current official route — Listed ordinary passports: tourist eVisa** (eVisa)
  DGIP's live 175-country eVisa schedule establishes the online tourist-visa route for these passports; easier visa-free, named VPA/ETA, and direct-VOA routes above take precedence.
  - The official page says applicants from 175 countries can apply for eVisa and that the route is augmented with ETA; use the official online visa system before travel.
  - The newer MFA mobile-app release reports an unnamed 120-country VPA cohort. Because it supplies no country list, it does not safely prove an easier VPA route for any particular eVisa-only passport.
  - For tourist/visit travel, DGIP requires the ordinary passport, photograph, and a sponsor invitation or hotel booking. The listed standard tourist visa is up to three months with double entry and can be extended subject to the stated limits.
  - The policy does not establish business-only routes, overseas-Pakistani origin or family arrangements, work, residence, transit, group tourism, diplomatic/official/special documents, prohibited areas, security or individual-admissibility rights.
