Tips for Pakistan travelers

  • Apply at least 2-3 weeks before travel since Pakistan has no Bahamian consulate and processing can vary
  • Common rejection reasons: incomplete documentation, unclear onward travel plans, insufficient funds shown
  • Since many airlines will not board passengers without prior approval, confirm authorization is granted before purchasing non-refundable tickets
  • Keep a printed and digital copy of the approval for both departure and arrival checks
  • Extensions of stay, if needed, should be arranged with the Bahamas Department of Immigration before the authorized period expires
