What you need

  • Passport: Must be valid for at least six months beyond your intended stay in Pakistan.
  • Application Form: Completed online via the official e-Visa portal.
  • Digital Photograph: Recent, passport-style, with a white background, no older than six months. Specific dimensions usually requested are 35x45mm or 300x400 pixels.
  • Financial Proof: Bank statements showing sufficient funds to cover your stay. Specific minimum amounts are not always publicly stated but typically aim for USD 100-150 per day of stay.
  • Accommodation Proof: Hotel booking confirmation or a letter of invitation from a host in Pakistan.
  • Return Ticket: Proof of onward or return travel from Pakistan.
  • Biometrics: Biometric data (fingerprints and photograph) will be collected upon arrival at the designated immigration counter in Pakistan. This is part of the e-Visa process confirmation.
  • Travel Health Insurance: While not always mandatory for the e-Visa application itself, comprehensive travel medical insurance is highly recommended. It is not explicitly required by the online portal but is prudent for any international travel.

The e-Visa portal is primarily for tourism and short-term business visits. For longer stays or specialized visas, citizens of Antigua and Barbuda should consult the nearest Pakistani mission.

How to apply online

  • Visit the official Pakistan e-Visa portal: https://onlinemfa.gov.pk/
  • Register an account on the portal.
  • Select the appropriate visa category (e.g., Tourist).
  • Fill out the online application form accurately with all required details. This includes personal information, passport details, travel plans, and accommodation.
  • Upload scanned copies of required supporting documents, such as your passport bio page, photograph, and invitation letter (if applicable).
  • Pay the visa fee online using a credit or debit card. The fee is typically in USD.
  • Submit the application.
  • Processing Time: The standard processing time for an e-Visa is usually 7-10 working days. However, it can sometimes take longer, so apply well in advance.
  • Approval Notification: Once approved, you will receive an Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA) via email. You must print this ETA and present it along with your passport to immigration authorities upon arrival in Pakistan. Biometric data will be collected at the airport.

Fees & processing time

  • Visa Fee: For a single-entry tourist e-Visa, the fee is approximately USD 40. Fees may vary for different visa types or durations.
  • VFS/BLS Service Fee: Not applicable for the e-Visa system as applications are processed directly online.
  • Total Cost Estimate: Approximately USD 40 for a standard tourist e-Visa.
  • Standard Processing Time: 7-10 working days.
  • Express/Priority Option: There is generally no official express or priority processing option available through the e-Visa portal. Applicants are advised to apply with sufficient lead time.

Tips for Antigua and Barbuda travelers

  • Apply Well in Advance: It is recommended to apply for your e-Visa at least 3-4 weeks before your intended travel date to account for potential processing delays.
  • Common Rejection Reasons: Inaccurate or incomplete information in the application form, insufficient financial proof, unclear supporting documents, or previous visa violations can lead to rejection. Ensure all details match your passport and other documents precisely.
  • e-Visa vs. Embassy Application: For most tourist and short-term business purposes, the e-Visa is the most efficient and recommended route. Direct applications at an embassy or consulate are usually reserved for specific visa categories not covered by the e-Visa system or for those facing technical issues with the online portal.
  • Travel Advisories: Always check the latest travel advisories issued by your home country's foreign ministry and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Pakistan for any specific security concerns or entry requirements before planning your trip.
  • Extension Options: If you wish to extend your stay in Pakistan beyond the initial visa validity, you may need to apply for an extension at the relevant immigration authorities in Pakistan. This process typically requires a valid reason and sufficient supporting documentation. Extensions are not guaranteed and are subject to the discretion of the Pakistani immigration department.
