Now, Travellers from Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) nations can enter Pakistan without a visa. This is a major step toward increasing tourism and attracting more international investment. The implementation of this new regulation will help make Pakistan more approachable for travellers from the Gulf.
Pakistan can now be entered without a visa by citizens of:
- Bahrain
- Kuwait
- Oman
- Qatar
- Saudi Arabia
- United Arab Emirates (UAE).
These new arrangements allow them to remain in the nation for a maximum of ninety days. It is anticipated that this move will facilitate travel and increase appeal for travellers and business travellers from these nations, strengthening links and propelling Pakistan’s tourism sector.
Immigration officials at all Pakistani airports have been instructed to follow the new visa-free entry policy without any problems to guarantee a seamless rollout.
Additionally, the government has amended its standards to permit visitors from an extra 120 nations to enter Pakistan with a visa grant notice.
This larger endeavour is a component of Pakistan‘s continuous efforts to improve the nation’s appeal to foreign tourists and to boost economic growth by expanding investment and tourism prospects.
