No visa on arrival
Jordanian passport holders cannot get a visa on arrival in Pakistan. You must apply and receive approval through the official online portal before you travel. Airlines will check this before boarding.
Passport validity counts from entry, not application
Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from the date you arrive in Pakistan, not from when you submit your visa application. Check your passport expiry before you start the process.
What happens at the border

Apply for your visa online
Go to the official Pakistan visa portal (visa.nadra.gov.pk) and fill out the application. Upload a scanned copy of your passport photo page and a recent passport-sized photo. Pay the fee online. Processing typically takes 5–10 working days.

Once submitted, you'll receive a reference number. Check the portal for status updates. Approved visas are sent as an e-visa PDF — print it and keep a copy on your phone.

Prepare your documents for arrival
Before you fly, gather: printed e-visa, passport with 6+ months validity, return ticket, first night hotel booking, and travel insurance. Keep them in your hand luggage.

The immigration officer will stamp your passport with your entry date and visa validity. Check the stamp before leaving the counter. You're now cleared to enter.
