Do I Need a Visa for Pakistan?

Yes. US citizens traveling to Pakistan for any trip purpose must have a valid visa that is obtained from the Embassy of Pakistan. If you arrive in Pakistan without the proper visa, you may be subject to fines, arrest, deportation, and incarceration. Additionally, if you violate the terms of your visa, be it the period of validity or permitted activities, you may be detained, fined, arrested, and/or imprisoned. Be certain to work with a travel document expert to get the proper visa in place before you depart. In addition to a visa, it is also necessary to have a valid passport to travel to Pakistan.
