The Pakistani government has announced a visa exemption for citizens of Saudi Arabia and other GCC countries, allowing them 90-day visa-free entry. This move marks a significant shift under Pakistan’s Revised Visa Policy, granting Saudi nationals the opportunity to enter Pakistan without prior visa formalities for the first time.

Visa Policy Changes for GCC Nationals

The new visa policy eliminates the need for GCC citizens to secure an electronic travel authorization or apply for a visa through Pakistan’s e-Visa system. This initiative is aimed at enhancing business interactions and attracting more tourists from the Gulf region to Pakistan.
