Pakistan: Immigration

Nationals of 120 countries traveling to Pakistan for tourism or business can now benefit from a simplified, free, electronic visa process that reduces administrative requirements and processing times.

The government of Pakistan has joined the Apostille Convention, which removes the requirement for certain foreign-issued public documents to be legalized.

The Court of Appeal has recently issued a judgement in the case of Secretary of State for the Home Department vs RM (Pakistan) [2021] EWCA Civ 1754 relating to ‘Zambrano' carers where the person claims to derive a right to reside in the UK as the primary carer of an adult British citizen.
