Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| eVisa application Pakistan eVisa | Apply for a Pakistan eVisa at visa.nadra.gov.pk before you travel. The online form asks for a scanned passport photo, a copy of your passport bio page, and your travel itinerary. Processing usually takes 5–7 working days, and the fee varies by nationality — expect around $60–$100 USD. Print the approval letter and carry it with your passport.Apply for eVisa | Required |
| Valid passport Must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your intended stay | Your Ukrainian passport needs at least 6 months of validity from your planned departure date from Pakistan. Border officers at Islamabad, Karachi, and Lahore check this strictly — if your passport expires sooner, you'll be denied boarding. Also make sure you have at least two blank visa pages. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of onward travel | Immigration at Pakistani airports routinely asks for a confirmed return or onward ticket before they stamp you in. Airlines also check this at check-in — if you don't have one, they may refuse boarding. A printed itinerary or e-ticket works fine. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or invitation letter | Have a hotel reservation or a letter from your host in Pakistan ready. Immigration officers sometimes ask for an address where you'll be staying, especially if you're arriving on a tourist eVisa. A printed booking confirmation from Booking.com or similar is enough. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Bank statement or cash | Carry a recent bank statement showing at least $500–$1,000 USD, or have a credit card with a decent limit. Officers rarely ask for it, but if they do, they want to see you can cover your stay. ATMs are widely available in major cities, but bring some USD or EUR in cash for the first few days. | Recommended |
eVisa only — no visa on arrival for Ukrainians
Ukrainians cannot get a visa on arrival in Pakistan. You must apply and receive approval before you travel. The eVisa is the only option for tourism or business visits.
Passport validity is strictly enforced
Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from your entry date. If it expires sooner, your eVisa will be rejected. Renew your passport first.
