Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| eVisa application Apply online before travel | Indonesian passport holders need a visa to enter Pakistan. Apply through the official Pakistan eVisa portal at visa.nadra.gov.pk at least 7–10 days before departure. The eVisa is issued for tourism, business, or transit purposes — processing takes 3–5 working days in most cases.Apply for eVisa | Required |
| Valid passport Must be valid for the entire stay | Your Indonesian passport must be valid for at least the full duration of your stay in Pakistan. Airlines check this at check-in — if your passport expires before you leave, you will be denied boarding. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from Pakistan | Immigration officers at Pakistani airports routinely ask for a confirmed return or onward ticket. Have a printed copy or a screenshot of your booking ready — they check this before stamping your entry. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation | Carry a printed hotel reservation or a letter of invitation from your host in Pakistan. Immigration may ask for your address during the interview — having a booking confirmation avoids delays. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show you can cover your stay | Officers may ask for evidence of sufficient funds — carry a bank statement or a credit card with a reasonable limit. There is no fixed minimum amount, but having the equivalent of $200–$300 USD in cash or card is a safe bet. | Recommended |
No visa on arrival
Indonesian passport holders cannot get a visa at the airport. You must apply online at visa.nadra.gov.pk before you travel. Do not book flights until your visa is approved.
Passport validity counts from entry date
Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from the day you land in Pakistan, not from the day you apply. If it expires sooner, renew it first.
