Mexico to Pakistan visa requirements

Mexican ordinary passport holders need a visa for Pakistan and must obtain a Pakistan online e-visa before travel. Visa on arrival and the old "visa prior to arrival" facility were suspended on 1 January 2026, so an advance e-visa via the official NADRA portal is now mandatory. As of mid-2026, a Mexican (MX) ordinary passport holder cannot travel to Pakistan visa-free. Pakistan operates a centralized Online Visa System run by NADRA (visa.nadra.gov.pk), and Mexico is among the nationalities eligible to apply online for a tourist e-visa. Effective 1 January 2026, Pakistan suspended both its Visa on Arrival and the free "Visa Prior to Arrival" programs, so the e-visa applied for and approved before departure is now the standard and required route for tourism. The tourist e-visa is typically issued for a single entry, with a fee around USD 60 for most non-EU nationalities, validity of about 3 months from issuance, and a stay of up to 90 days. Processing officially takes 7-10 business days, though applicants should allow up to 3-4 weeks. The passport must be valid at least 6 months beyond the intended stay with a blank page. Because no confirmed visa-free or visa-on-arrival channel exists for Mexican tourists in 2026, the correct verdict is e-visa.
