How to Contact an Embassy in Islamabad: Phone Numbers & Addresses
Need the phone number or address of an embassy in Islamabad? Embassy numbers change often — and fake listings are a real problem. This guide shows the reliable way to reach any of the 82 missions, what to prepare, and the scams to avoid.
Quick answer: Find the mission’s official website (search “[country] embassy Islamabad official”) or the MOFA directory at mofa.gov.pk for current phone numbers and addresses. Most missions are in the Diplomatic Enclave, G-5. Never trust a random Google Maps number — scammers post fake embassy contacts.

The Reliable Sources
- The mission’s official website. Every embassy publishes its phone, email, address and visa-section hours. Use only the official domain — typically the country’s foreign-ministry site or a dedicated .gov address.
- MOFA’s directory (mofa.gov.pk). Pakistan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs maintains the protocol list of all 82 missions — the authoritative reference.
- The mission’s verified social media. Many embassies announce number changes and holiday closures on X/Facebook.
Well-Known Mission Locations
Most missions cluster in the Diplomatic Enclave, G-5: the US Embassy (Ramna 5), the British High Commission, the Chinese Embassy (Ramna 4), the German Embassy (Ramna 5), the French Embassy (G-5) and the Japanese Embassy (Plot 53–70, Ramna 5/4). Others sit outside the enclave — e.g. the Australian High Commission (Constitution Avenue & Ispahani Road, G-5/4), the Iranian Embassy (G-5/1) and several missions in F-6, F-7, F-8 and F-10.

Before You Call or Visit
- Have your passport/CNIC number and any case or token reference ready.
- For visas, contact the consular/visa section — not the political section. Many missions outsource visa intake to centres like Gerry’s.
- Book an appointment. Walk-ins are rarely entertained at the Diplomatic Enclave; security screening (CNIC check, vehicle search) applies to everyone.
- Note Friday prayer hours and public holidays — of both Pakistan and the mission’s home country.
Avoiding Fake Listings
DGIP and MOFA have both warned that scammers post fake embassy and passport-office numbers on Google Maps, then demand “fees” via JazzCash or personal bank accounts. Rules that protect you:
- Embassy fees are paid only through official channels — never to a personal mobile wallet.
- Cross-check any number against the mission’s official website.
- Report fraud to the mission itself and to Pakistan’s Cybercrime (FIA) helpline.
