Can I go? Entry and visas
From GOV.UK, for United Kingdom passports, updated 13 October 2026:
You need a visa to visit Pakistan and you must apply in advance.
Passport validity
To enter Pakistan, your passport must have an ‘expiry date’ at least 6 months after the date of your visa application.
Check with your travel provider that your passport and other travel documents meet requirements. Renew your passport if you need to.
You will be denied entry if you do not have a valid travel document or try to use a passport that has been reported lost or stolen.
Make sure you get your passport stamped on entry.
Leaving Pakistan will be difficult if you do not have an entry stamp. If your passport was not stamped on entry, contact the Ministry of Interior or visit a National Database and Registration Office (NDRA) office.
