As Pakistanis have long been facing visa rejection rates from Western and even Gulf countries, the list of travel options has been narrowed a lot, which is why it's more difficult than ever to make it out of the country easily and quickly.
Long waiting periods and hectic documentation further aggravate Pakistanis' visa woes, making international travel a challenge for many.
Fret not, below we've jotted down the countries that are still offering visa-free entry or short-term e-visas for Pakistani passport holders.
Visa-free countries on Pakistani passport
The following are the handful of destinations that Pakistanis can visit without a visa:
- Maldives
- Cambodia
- Barbados
- Cook Islands
- Dominica
- Gambia
- Haiti
- Micronesia
- Montserrat
- Rwanda
- St Vincent and the Grenadines
- Trinidad and Tobago
- Vanuatu
While Pakistanis are too short of options for foreign trips, they can make the most of the tropical beaches and rich culture of these two countries.
Note that in these destinations, Pakistanis are only required to have a passport and basic travel documents for entry.
Countries where Pakistanis can apply for an e-visa
Apart from visa-free nations, several other countries offer e-visas for Pakistani passports that can be obtained online within days.
These are the countries Pakistani citizens can visit with a quick e-visa.
- Sri Lanka
- Azerbaijan

Application processes for these countries are straightforward, and visa approval usually takes between 24 to 72 hours.
