Pakistan’s decision to suspend the Free Visa Prior to Arrival (VPA) program marks a major change in its entry policy for foreign nationals. Once offering fast, cost-free access for travelers from numerous countries, the VPA option is no longer available on the official visa platform. Visitors must now apply through the standard paid e-Visa process, which may involve longer processing times and additional requirements. The absence of an official clarification regarding the duration of this suspension has created uncertainty for travelers, tour operators, and travel planners worldwide.
