What is the change? Pakistan has expanded its online entry visa portal to nationals of 175 countries.
What does the change mean? Nationals from 175 countries are now eligible for a visa-on-arrival for tourism, while nationals from 95 countries are now eligible for a visa-on-arrival for business.
Background: Eligible nationals should note that issuance of the visa-on-arrival is at the discretion of the immigration officer at the point of entry, and the traveler risks being turned away if requirements are not met. Business visa-on-arrivals are valid for 30 days. Nationals from countries not eligible for a visa-on-arrival for business can only obtain a business visa from a consulate, which is valid for 30 days.
Analysis and Comments: The change is good news for nationals of the newly eligible countries as they will no longer have to obtain a business visa from the consulate and will instead be able to obtain a visa upon arrival, valid for 30 days.
