Pakistan Pass Track
Complete your Pakistan Pass Track submission before travel — mandatory passenger data checked by airlines and immigration for most arrivals.
What Is the Pakistan Pass Track?
The Pakistan Pass Track is a mandatory pre-arrival passenger data submission used by Pakistan aviation and border authorities to collect traveller contact, flight and health information before entry. Issued and operated alongside guidance from Pakistan Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) and Pakistan missions, the app and web portal streamline arrival checks and help airlines verify passenger data at departure.
Passengers submit required fields via the official portal or approved apps; some Pakistan missions and the Pakistan Online Visa System (NADRA) publish guidance on mandatory registration. After you submit, you'll receive a digital confirmation on the screen and by email — keep this reference or confirmation screenshot available for airline check-in and for immigration on arrival.
The Pakistan Pass Track is a pre-arrival information registration — it is not a visa or entry permit. Immigration decisions and visa checks remain the responsibility of Pakistan immigration officials on arrival. Important policy context: Pakistan returned to a centralized e‑visa system in early 2026 and suspended many Visa‑on‑Arrival routes, making pre-arrival data such as that collected through the Pass Track app increasingly important for processing and travel planning.
Key facts: submit accurate passport and flight details, keep your confirmation accessible, and verify visa requirements on Pakistan visa information and the official portal at visa.nadra.gov.pk. Apply now to complete your Pass Track submission with guided help.

Pakistan Entry Requirements & Restrictions
Passport Validity
Your passport should generally be valid for at least 6 months from your date of visa application or arrival — confirm specific requirements for your nationality on the Pakistan Online Visa System at visa.nadra.gov.pk and the UK entry guidance at GOV.UK.
Vaccination & Health Screening
A Yellow Fever vaccination certificate is required if you come from a country with yellow fever transmission risk. Polio vaccination proof may be requested in certain situations; review CDC guidance at CDC — Pakistan.
Customs & Prohibited Items
Pakistan has strict customs rules: importing alcohol and pork products is prohibited. You must declare goods subject to duty or restriction — follow customs guidance and be aware that undeclared prohibited items can lead to fines or seizure.
Health Advice & Insurance
Dengue and other vector-borne diseases occur in Pakistan; ensure routine vaccinations are up to date. Travel medical insurance is strongly recommended due to variable medical capacity in remote areas — see CDC and TravelHealthPro for details.
Security & Travel Advice
Pakistan has regions with security restrictions and border closures. Check travel advisories (FCDO, US State Department, Global Affairs Canada) and confirm your route and permits before travel — changes to border access can be sudden.
Travel Tips for Pakistan Visitors
Pakistan is a large, diverse country with major international gateways in Islamabad, Karachi and Lahore. International airports include Islamabad International Airport (ISB), Jinnah International Airport, Karachi (KHI), Allama Iqbal International Airport, Lahore (LHE) and Bacha Khan International Airport, Peshawar (PEW). Plan transfers and local transport in advance.
- Currency: Pakistani Rupee (PKR). Major hotels and some tour operators may accept USD, but carry PKR for local purchases and taxis.
- Language: Urdu is the official language; English is widely used in cities, airports and for official procedures.
- Time zone: Pakistan Standard Time is GMT+5.
- Security: Register with your embassy if available and avoid border and high-risk areas identified in travel advisories.
- Cultural norms: Dress modestly in public and respect local customs, particularly in religious sites and conservative regions.
- Cash & cards: ATMs are common in cities but may be sparse in rural areas — carry some cash in PKR.
- Transport: Domestic flights connect major cities; road travel can be slow due to checkpoints and terrain — allow extra time.
