Pakistan Visa Fees: What You’ll Pay by Nationality (2026)

Pakistan’s e-visa fees depend on your passport — and some nationalities pay nothing at all. This guide breaks down the Pakistan visa fee structure: tourist and business fees by nationality, exemptions, and how to avoid overpaying.

Quick answer: A Pakistan tourist e-visa costs roughly USD 20–60 depending on nationality (EU ~$35, US/UK/Canada ~$60, South/SE Asia from ~$20). Nationals of Afghanistan, China, Japan, Iceland, North Korea, Slovakia, Malaysia, UAE and Saudi Arabia are fee-exempt for most categories. The portal shows your exact fee before payment.

Other nationalities~USD 35–75 (varies)

Business Visa Fees

Business visas are priced separately and can cost significantly more depending on duration and number of entries — multi-entry business visas up to 5 years sit at the top of the fee scale. Check the portal’s fee calculator for your exact figure.

Fee Exemptions

No visa fee is charged for nationals of Afghanistan, China, Japan, Iceland, North Korea, Slovakia, Malaysia, UAE and Saudi Arabia (work visas excepted for some). If your country is on the list, you still apply — you just don’t pay.

Avoiding Overpayment

  • Use only visa.nadra.gov.pk — third-party “visa service” sites add hefty markups.
  • The portal displays your exact fee before payment — if a site can’t show it, leave.
  • Fees are non-refundable even if the visa is refused — get the category and documents right first.
