Pakistanis need visas to travel to every major country of the world. There are 3 types of visas.
1. Visa on Arrival
It means, you only need a 2-way flight ticket to visit this country. You will get a free visa (or very little fee) on arrival when you reach the airport of that country. Example: Qatar gives a free 30-day on-arrival visa at Doha Airport. Nepal gives this visa to Pakistanis at Kathmandu Airport etc. The same goes for Sharam-al-Sheikh (Egypt) if you travel by Saudi Airline only. Usually, they ask for show money or simple documents like Polio Certificate etc.
2. Electronic Visa (E – Visa)
This is my personal favourite visa because it is easier to get and has very less hassle as compared to the third type of visa that we will discuss later on. To get e – visa, you only need to apply through the online website of the embassy of that country. There is no need to travel physically to that embassy in Pakistan. The fee will also be paid online via your Bank Cards like VISA or Mastercard etc. All of have to do is upload clear scanned copies of the required documents. Online Fees and Documents vary from country to country.
Cheapest E-visas under 10,000 PKR are offered by Azerbaijan, Srilanka, Malaysia, Singapore, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, etc.
3. Sticker Visa
This is a visa that is pasted on your passport. For this visa, you have to physically go to the visa office or embassy of that country with the file of all the required documents and the visa fee. You give all the documents along with your passport to the visa officer and pay the fee. Once you receive the call to collect the passport, you go again and collect it. If you get accepted, you will see a visa pasted on your passport.
