Pakistan Suspends Visa-on-Arrival Facility

Pakistan has suspended issuance of visas on arrival to foreigners to avoid any irregularities in the database.

To ensure strict surveillance of Pakistan’s land, sea and air route entry and exit points on borders, Nisar ordered speedy completion of concept paper for modern Immigration and Border Control Department (IBCD).

As a first step, a separate body of IBCD should be set up under the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA).

Modern immigration department would strengthen border control management of the country which is currently managed by the FIA.
