Taiwan (Chinese Taipei) to Pakistan visa requirements

Yes, a Taiwan ordinary passport holder needs a visa to visit Pakistan. Taiwan (ROC) is one of only three nationalities explicitly excluded from Pakistan's online visa / e-Visa system, so there is no e-Visa, no ETA and no visa on arrival. You must obtain a traditional sticker visa in advance, and Taiwanese travelers must also complete pre-arrival registration with Pakistan's Immigration Head Office in Hong Kong. Pakistan launched a broad online visa (e-Visa/ETA) system run by NADRA covering well over 100 nationalities, but Taiwan (Republic of China) passport holders are specifically NOT eligible: Pakistan's published rule states all countries except Armenia, India and Taiwan may apply online. As a result, Taiwan ordinary passport holders cannot use the e-Visa portal, are not granted visa on arrival, and are not visa-exempt. They must apply for a conventional (sticker/paper) visit visa through a Pakistani diplomatic mission before travel. Because Pakistan has no embassy in Taipei, applications are handled through a Pakistani mission abroad, and Taiwan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs notes that Taiwanese travelers additionally must register in advance with the Immigration Head Office of Pakistan in Hong Kong before arrival. Travelers should budget several weeks for processing and confirm the current accredited mission and Hong Kong registration step before booking flights. This guidance reflects status as of 2026-05-30; conditions for Taiwan have not eased despite Pakistan's wider e-Visa expansion.
