Pakistan eVisa Requirements for Australian Nationals

Australian passport holders will require to comply with the following entry requirements when applying for a Pakistan eVisa:

• A valid Australian passport
• A color passport-style photograph of the Australian passenger
• Proof of accommodation details during their stay in Pakistan
• A valid credit or debit card to pay Pakistan’s eVisa processing fee
• An accessible email address where all the relevant information regarding the Pakistan eVisa, including the visa itself, could be sent.

Australian nationals visiting Pakistan are advised to read the general visa conditions for Australian citizens before submitting their Pakistan eVisa application form.

Pakistan eVisas are usually processed in around 10 business days. This can take longer during busy travel periods, so ensure you allow enough time for processing before traveling.

The approved Pakistan tourist eVisa will be electronically linked to your Australian passport, and a copy will be emailed to the address registered on your application.

Travelers should print out a copy of the Pakistan eVisa and bring it with them while traveling to, and within, Pakistan in case officials wish to inspect it.

On arrival, you are also required to present the Australian passport you used to apply for your eVisa. Travelers with dual nationality must ensure they carry the correct passport.

The approved Pakistan eVisa permits expedited entry to Pakistan through air, land, and sea, including all major international airports and border crossings.

Visitors must remember to carry their passport and a copy of their approved Pakistani eVisa in case border officials require them to check that all the information is correct.

Australian citizens must take into consideration that losing the passport used to apply for the Pakistani visa will invalidate the travel permit. This occurs because, once the eVisa is granted, this is digitally linked to the Australian passport.

On rare occasions, a Pakistani eVisa application may be rejected due to errors or inconsistencies. If this occurs, nationals of Australia will have the opportunity to submit a new eVisa application.

The Pakistan tourist eVisa authorizes single entry to the country for a stay of up to 3 months for tourism and leisure reasons. Citizens of Australia are also eligible for a double-entry option.

Australians are able to extend the Pakistani visa to a total of 6 months by applying for an extension online when they are in Pakistan.

In the case of a single-entry visa, the most common option among Australians, if you leave Pakistan’s borders at any point, your visa then expires and you will require a new eVisa to return.

Travelers visiting Pakistan for reasons of business, work, or study can also apply for different types of eVisa which allow different lengths of time in the country.

Australian nationals visiting Pakistan for purposes other than tourism, for example, business, work, or study, should check the relevant Pakistan visa policy or contact a Pakistani consulate in Perth, Melbourne, or Sydney or the Pakistani embassy located in Canberra.
