A fee applies, which varies by nationality and length of stay, and processing usually takes 7 to 10 working days. Apply at least three weeks before you travel. The free visa on arrival scheme that ran until the end of 2025 has been withdrawn.
A letter of invitation can support some visa applications. Policy to be confirmed by Tripzy.

Cities are very hot from May to September, often above 40C. The northern valleys stay pleasant in summer and cold at night. Winter in the mountains falls below freezing.
Signal is good in cities and most valley towns and patchy in remote areas. We can arrange a local SIM, so bring an unlocked phone. Hotels usually have wifi, though not always in the mountains.
Pakistan is a conservative country. Men and women should cover shoulders and legs in public. Women should carry a scarf for mosques and more conservative areas. The mountains are more relaxed, though shorts are still best avoided.
