Pakistan has launched a mobile application, “Pak ID”, to facilitate the visa to the arrival of citizens from 120 eligible countries, making traveling to the country easier and more convenient.

The “PAK ID” application also offers a variety of features, which include facial recognition capabilities, documents and photo loading. This allows applicants to complete the process without visiting any physical office, significantly reduce waiting times and increase accessibility for international tourists and businessmen.
This initiative is a step towards greater digitalization of the Pakistan visa system, which is already open to citizens from 192 countries. With the introduction of this application, travelers can also receive notifications and track their visa status directly from their mobile devices.
