Pakistan revokes visa on arrival facility for Afghan citizens due to security threats

From now own Afghan citizens will not be entitled to visa on arrival facility and they will face restriction in movements in Pakistan even after having been issued visa by Pakistani diplomatic missions in Afghanistan due to security reasons.

“All Afghan nationals who want to visit Pakistan will have to obtain a visa from Pakistani consulates in their country,” said the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) Director Immigration Asmatullah Junejo.
He further said that Afghan nationals will have to register themselves with the law enforcement agencies in Pakistan during their legal stay in the country. They will be given entry through “Form C” at airports, Junejo said. “Details of the visiting Afghan nationals will also be provided to the relevant district police officers and police stations,” he added.
A stay permit will be issued to visiting Afghan nationals following their registration and subsequently a travel permit will be issued after they submit their stay permit.
Pakistan offers visa on arrival facility to citizens of 24 countries, including China, Malaysia, and the United States.
