Germany to Pakistan visa requirements

Q: How long can I stay in Pakistan on a tourist eVisa?

The standard tourist eVisa allows a stay of up to 30 days from the date of entry, with a single entry. The visa itself is valid for 3 months from the date of issue.

Q: How much does the Pakistan tourist eVisa cost?

The 30-day single-entry tourist eVisa is around USD 144, plus an USD 8 NADRA service charge and a small bank fee, paid online by card. Exact amounts depend on nationality and duration.

Q: How long does eVisa processing take?

Plan for roughly 7-10 business days. Apply at least two to three weeks before your trip to allow for any delays.

Q: Is Pakistan part of the Schengen area?

No. Pakistan is not in the Schengen area, so the Schengen 90/180-day rule and ETIAS do not apply to travel to Pakistan.

Q: What passport validity do I need?

Your German passport should be valid for at least 6 months beyond your intended departure from Pakistan and have at least one blank page.

German ordinary passport holders need a visa for Pakistan. Apply online for the Pakistan tourist eVisa at the official NADRA portal (visa.nadra.gov.pk) before travel; there is no longer a free visa-on-arrival channel. As of May 2026, German citizens holding an ordinary passport require a visa to enter Pakistan for tourism. Germany is among the eligible nationalities for Pakistan's online tourist eVisa, applied for through the official Government of Pakistan portal at visa.nadra.gov.pk. The standard tourist product is a 30-day single-entry eVisa, valid for 3 months from the date of issue, with the actual stay capped at 30 days from entry. Important recent change: effective 1 January 2026, Pakistan suspended the previous Visa Prior to Arrival (VPOA) scheme, which had been free and issued within roughly 48 hours. Under the current regime, applicants should expect processing of about 7-10 business days and a fee that varies by nationality and duration. Pakistan is not in the Schengen area, so the Schengen 90/180 rule and ETIAS do not apply. Travelers must hold a passport valid at least 6 months beyond the intended stay and should have proof of onward/return travel and accommodation. Because there is no confirmed visa-free or visa-on-arrival channel for German tourists, the correct verdict is eVisa (visa required, obtained online).
