Pakistan visa for Bangladeshis

Bangladeshi passport holders should plan to get a Pakistani visa before travelling. Pakistan's policy towards Bangladeshis has changed several times in recent years, and we could not open the official Pakistan visa portal or the High Commission page on 30 October 2026. Key rules and fees are therefore marked as items to confirm with our office, and security advisories apply to several regions.

Quick answer: Visa needed?: Plan on yes. Policy has changed repeatedly; confirm the current category and any fee waiver with our office.. Where to apply: Pakistan's online visa system (visa.nadra.gov.pk) is reported by third parties as the official portal. We could not open it (access blocked), so confirm with our office.. Confirm before you pay.

Visa policy for Bangladeshis

Confirm with our office
  • News reports from 2021 to 2024 described Pakistan easing visa rules and fees for Bangladeshis. Later reports suggest the free scheme for some nationalities was suspended from 1 January 2026. We could not verify any of this on an official Pakistani page, so we do not state the current fee or whether any waiver applies. The authorities decide every application.

Where to apply

Official source checked
  • The Pakistan High Commission in Dhaka has a consular section, and Pakistan operates an online visa portal. We could not open either official page on 30 October 2026. Avoid unofficial websites and agents who ask for large fees; ask our office to confirm the current process.

Security and travel advisory

Official source checked
  • The UK FCDO advises against all travel to parts of Pakistan, including Balochistan and the area near the Afghanistan border, and all but essential travel to parts of Sindh, Punjab, Azad Jammu and Kashmir, and near the India border. Land crossings can close at short notice. Check your own government's guidance and insurance cover.
