Pakistan Introduces Mobile App for Visa-on-Arrival Service
In a significant step towards digital transformation, Pakistan has introduced “Pak ID,” a mobile application for visa-on-arrival services, simplifying the travel process for international visitors. The initiative aims to enhance accessibility and boost tourism by allowing travelers from 120+ countries to apply for a visa directly from their smartphones.
Streamlining the Visa Process
The mobile app, developed by NADRA (National Database and Registration Authority), enables business and tourist travelers to apply for visas without the need for physical visits to embassies or immigration offices. The app incorporates real-time tracking, biometric verification, and document scanning, ensuring a secure and efficient application process.
Key Features of the Visa-on-Arrival App

Boosting Tourism & Business Opportunities
The new visa application process aligns with Pakistan’s broader vision of promoting tourism and trade. In August 2024, the government took another significant step by waiving visa fees for citizens of 126 countries, making travel even more convenient.
A Step Towards Digital Transformation
With this launch, Pakistan aims to modernize its immigration services and position itself as an attractive destination for international tourists and investors. The move will contribute to economic growth by streamlining visa procedures and encouraging global mobility.
