Overview

Pakistan’s government broadcaster reports signing a bilateral visa-free travel agreement for diplomatic and official passport holders. The signing report does not establish the treaty’s entry-into-force date, authorised stay, eligible official activities, documentary exceptions or actual carrier implementation. This guide records the new announcement and the steps still needing confirmation. It is excluded from recommendations as an operational visa-free route. Ordinary Pakistani passports are outside the announced scope.
