Traveling to Pakistan from the USA requires a lot of things to do, including obtaining a visa, booking your flight, and preparing for your journey.
Here’s a concise guide to help you navigate the process:
1. Visa Requirements: U.S. citizens need a visa before entering Pakistan. You can apply for a Pakistan visa online through the GVC e-visa portal, which is fast and straightforward. The e-visa application requires personal information, passport details, a recent photograph, and supporting documents like hotel reservation. Processing time usually takes 5 business days, and once approved, you’ll receive your visa via email.
2. Booking Flights: Direct flights from the USA to Pakistan are limited, so most travelers will have to book a flight with one or more layovers. Major airlines like Qatar Airways, Emirates, Turkish Airlines, and Etihad offer routes from U.S. cities such as New York, Washington, D.C., and Los Angeles to major Pakistani cities like Islamabad, Lahore, and Karachi.
3. Preparing for the Journey: Ensure your passport is valid for at least six months beyond your planned stay. Pack appropriately for Pakistan’s varied climate, and consider bringing items like travel insurance, currency exchange, and an international SIM card or roaming plan.
