Verified practical details
You don't need a visa to enter Pakistan, but here are some practical details worth knowing before you travel:
Fee
The fee is charged "on a reciprocal basis" and varies a lot by nationality (e.g.: free for China or Malaysia, US$60 for the US, UK, Canada or Australia, US$50 for Germany, per DGIP's table). The published official table dates from 2023, before the January 2026 reform, so check the official fee calculator at visa.nadra.gov.pk/evisaFee/ before applying. On top of the base fee, a 10% "PCW&E" surcharge, a 10% "FIGOB" surcharge, an $8 NADRA service charge and a 2.2% bank fee apply.
Health insurance
Not mandatory for this destination.
When travel insurance is mandatory → Travel insurance policies ↓Transit rules
Pakistan's transit visa only allows you to pass through the country, not to stay in it. For Indian nationals travelling to India by air or sea through Pakistan, it is issued for up to two entries with a 72-hour stay in the city or port of entry.
