Missions Outside the Enclave
Not every mission is inside the enclave walls. Several embassies operate from the F-6, F-7, F-8 and F-10 residential sectors — for example, missions have listed addresses on Margalla Road (F-6/3, F-7/3), in F-8/1 and F-8/4, and on streets in F-10. Always check the mission’s official website for its current address before visiting; locations change.
Consulates in Other Cities
Many countries also keep consulates beyond the capital: Karachi hosts the most (including US, Chinese, Saudi, Turkish, Russian and British consular presence), while Lahore, Peshawar and Quetta host missions of neighbours such as Afghanistan, Iran and China. For visa and citizen services, the nearest consulate is often faster than the Islamabad embassy — learn the difference in our embassy vs consulate guide.
