Poland to Pakistan visa requirements

Polish ordinary passport holders need a tourist eVisa for Pakistan, applied for online in advance at visa.nadra.gov.pk before travel. As of 30 May 2026, a Poland (ordinary passport) traveler going to Pakistan for tourism requires an electronic visa (eVisa) obtained in advance. Pakistan operates a fully online application through the Pakistan Online Visa System (POVS), run by NADRA at visa.nadra.gov.pk. Importantly, effective 1 January 2026 Pakistan suspended both its Visa on Arrival (VOA) and the free Visa Prior to Arrival (VPA) facilities for roughly 126 nationalities, including Poland and most of the EU. As a result, the previous fast-track or visa-free-on-arrival channel is no longer available to Polish travelers, and a paid tourist eVisa must be secured before departure. The single-entry tourist eVisa is generally valid for 3 months and permits a stay of up to 90 days. The fee for European nationals such as Poland is around USD 35, with official processing quoted at roughly 7-10 working days (and in practice sometimes longer, up to about 20 business days). Applicants upload a passport bio-page, photo, proof of accommodation (hotel booking or host invitation), itinerary, and proof of funds. Pakistan is not in the Schengen area, so the Schengen 90/180 rule and ETIAS do not apply to this route.
