As of June 2023, the Pakistani passport is ranked 195th in the world according to the VisaGuide Passport Index. This ranking indicates the level of visa-free travel access that Pakistani citizens have to different countries. Unfortunately, Pakistani passport holders have limited visa-free travel opportunities, with access to only 11 countries without a visa requirement.
The countries and territories that Pakistani passport holders can travel to without a visa include Cook Islands, Dominica, Haiti, Micronesia, Montserrat, Niue, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Tajikistan, Gambia, Trinidad and Tobago, and Vanuatu. This means that Pakistani citizens can visit these destinations for tourism, business, or other purposes without the need to obtain a visa in advance.
However, it is important to note that even for visa-free travel, certain requirements must be fulfilled. Pakistani travelers must have a valid passport with sufficient validity, usually at least six months beyond the intended date of departure. Additionally, some countries may require Pakistani passport holders to provide evidence of travel health insurance coverage.
For travel to countries not included in the visa-free list, Pakistani passport holders must apply for a visa in advance. Each country has its own specific visa application process, requirements, and fees, which may vary depending on the purpose of the visit, such as tourism, business, study, or work.
It is advisable for Pakistani citizens planning international travel to consult the relevant embassy or consulate of their desired destination to obtain accurate and up-to-date information regarding visa requirements and application procedures.
