Pakistan is a beautiful country. Home to 108 peaks above 7,000 meters, including K2, the south Asian country’s mountain scenery is stunning. From the lively cities like Islamabad and Lahore to the beautiful valleys in the north, Pakistan is a perfect place for a unique getaway.

Do I Need a Visa for Pakistan? Yes. US citizens traveling to Pakistan for any trip purpose must have a valid visa that is obtained from the Embassy of Pakistan. If you arrive in Pakistan without the proper visa, you may be subject to fines, arrest, deportation, and incarceration.

Pakistan has visa-abolition agreements for holders of diplomatic and official passports from the following countries, who do not require visas for Pakistan:

• Algeria.
• Argentina.
• Austria.
• Azerbaijan.
• Bahrain.
• Belgium (diplomatic only)
• Brazil (diplomatic only)
• Brunei.

The simple answer to your question is no, you cannot get an individual/family tourist visa for Pakistan. Unless visa is miraculously relaxed in the coming days, I don’t see an Indian passport getting Pakistani tourist visa from the embassy in New Delhi.

Indians need a visa to travel to Pakistan. Pakistan visa for Indians can be obtained at the Pakistan Embassy or Consulate. At present the Pakistan Embassy does not issue Tourist visas. Visas are only granted for visits to family or friends and for official/business purpose.

Since independence, the growth of expatriate Pakistani communities in the Middle East, Europe and North America has led to several changes in Pakistani nationality law.
