## Evidence timeline

- **Current official route — Listed ordinary passports: tourist Visa Prior to Arrival / ETA** (ETA)
  For these named tourist nationalities, Pakistan labels the visa as visa on arrival but requires electronic travel authorization 48-72 hours before travel. This candidate normalizes that required advance authorization as ETA rather than a true walk-up VOA.
  - The DGIP list names 50 tourist-VOA nationalities; Nepal and Maldives use the easier visa-free route and Qatar has the direct no-ETA VOA route recorded separately.
  - Submit the ETA/VPA intent 48-72 hours before travel. The arrival-issued tourist visa is up to three months under the category page.
  - A 2025 MFA release says the mobile-app VPA category serves eligible nationals of 120 countries but does not name them. It cannot safely expand or replace DGIP's named 50-country table.
  - Requires the category's passport, photograph, and sponsor invitation or hotel-booking evidence. It does not establish business-only VOA, Indian-origin religious tourism, designated-tour-operator groups, residence, work, special documents, security or individual admission.
