What you need

  • Passport valid for at least 6 months beyond the intended stay, with at least 2 blank pages
  • Digital passport-style photo (color, white background) uploaded during the online application
  • Confirmed return/onward flight ticket
  • Proof of accommodation (hotel booking or invitation letter, required for some categories)
  • Proof of sufficient funds for the stay (bank statement)
  • Invitation letter or hotel booking confirmation may be requested for tourist category verification
  • No advance biometric enrollment for most applicants; biometrics/photo checks occur on arrival
  • Travel health insurance is recommended, though not always mandatory for the tourist e-Visa

Visa types

  • Tourist e-Visa: single or multiple entry, valid for use within 90 days of issue, permits a stay of up to 90 days (extendable), fee approximately USD 35-60 depending on entry type
  • Business e-Visa: requires an invitation letter from a registered Pakistani company, similar validity and stay allowance, fee slightly higher than tourist category
  • Group Tourist e-Visa: available for tour groups of 5 or more travelling with a registered tour operator, often with expedited processing
  • Standard sticker visas remain available through the embassy for categories not covered online (e.g., work, student, journalist visas)

How to apply online

  • Apply through Pakistan's official online visa system (the government portal referenced for Kenyan applicants is onlinemfa.gov.pk, linked from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs); create an account and complete the application form
  • Upload your passport bio page, photo, and any required supporting documents (invitation letter, hotel booking, financial proof)
  • Pay the applicable fee online by card
  • Processing typically takes 7-10 business days, though it can extend to 2-3 weeks depending on security clearance requirements for the applicant's profile
  • The approved e-Visa is issued electronically as a PDF/letter to print and carry, along with your passport, to the port of entry
  • The Pakistan High Commission (mofa.gov.pk) can be contacted for status inquiries or categories requiring additional clearance

Fees & processing time

  • Tourist e-Visa fee: approximately USD 35-60 depending on single or multiple entry, paid online by card
  • No separate service fee since the application goes directly through the government portal
  • Standard processing: 7-10 business days, extendable if additional security clearance is required
  • No official express option widely advertised; applying at least 3-4 weeks before travel is recommended to allow for clearance delays

Tips for Kenya travelers

  • Apply at least 3-4 weeks before departure, since processing times can extend if extra security clearance is triggered for the applicant's travel history or profile
  • Common rejection or delay reasons include incomplete documentation, unclear invitation letters, or itineraries that don't match the declared purpose of visit
  • Double-check that all uploaded documents are clear and legible, as poor-quality scans are a frequent cause of processing delays
  • Keep a printed and digital copy of the e-Visa approval for airline check-in and immigration checks on arrival
  • Extensions of stay can be requested through the Ministry of Interior in Pakistan before the visa expires, subject to case-by-case approval
