Pakistan Visa Guide

A Pakistan visa is required for all U.S. citizens who plan to visit the country. Pakistan travel visas are affixed in your passport on the pages specifically marked for them.

Travelers aged 12 and over must be fully vaccinated against COVID-19. Random COVID-19 testing may occur at entry/exit points. Also, there is endemic wild polio in Pakistan; vaccination may be required under certain circumstances.

Some countries require that visa stamps be placed on those pages that do not contain any other stamps.
