Peaks, forts and warm hospitality.
Every Entry is issued online — no embassy visit required. Government fee plus our processing fee, shown in full before you pay.
How it works
Three steps between you and your Entry.
Before you apply
Applying for your Pakistan travel authorisation
Pakistan's travel authorisation is issued by Directorate General of Immigration & Passports — operated by NADRA. govr.me is a private, independent service — we are not a government department. We check your documents, complete the official form and submit your application for you. You can also apply yourself, directly and for the government fee only, at the official portal authority website.
What it costs
Prices in USD. Our fee pays for our help only; it does not buy a faster government decision. Applying directly at the official portal costs the government fee alone.

Payment: travel application; Mastercard; JCB; Amex; PayPal; NADRA Sahulat Centre voucher; 1Link bank transfer (PKR). Email PDF with QR code; downloadable from POVS dashboard. 7–10 business days.
Do
- Select your nationality first — form fields and document list change based on category.
- Create a NADRA Sahulat / POVS account with valid email; you need it to track and re-download.
- Scan the passport bio page in colour at 200–300 DPI under 2 MB.
- Upload a recent white-background JPG photo within the last 6 months.
- Complete payment within the same session — there is a payment time-out.
- Apply at least 2 weeks before travel for Cat-B nationalities.
Don't
- Don't apply with an Israeli stamp or Israeli birthplace in your passport — automatic rejection.
- Don't apply at lookalike sites — only nadra.gov.pk is the official domain.
- Don't declare Tourist when the actual purpose is business — immigration officers cross-check.
- Don't upload a selfie or driving-licence-style photo — backgrounds must be plain white.
- Don't book non-refundable flights before grant — Cat-B applications often take longer than the SLA.
- Don't travel to GB / Azad Kashmir / restricted areas without a separate NOC from the Ministry of Interior.
Why applications are refused
Decisions rest entirely with Directorate General of Immigration & Passports — operated by NADRA. The most common reasons an application is turned down:
- Israeli passport stamp / Israel birthplace in passport — instant rejection.
- Insufficient or fake invitation letter for Business / Family Visit.
- Photo not on white background, glare, or wearing glasses.
- Indian / Afghan origin without Pakistani sponsorship — channel mismatch.
- Discrepancy in passport scan vs typed details — minor typos cause auto-rejection.
Important for Pakistan
- Indian and Afghan nationals must apply consularly — no online option.
- Israeli passports cannot enter Pakistan.
- A 2.5% transaction fee is added at the payment gateway.
