The Airport Health Department in Pakistan has announced a new requirement for Umrah pilgrims departing from the country. Starting from September 14, 2026, travelers will be mandated to carry NADRA-integrated digital vaccination proof for international travel. This proof must cover vaccinations for polio, meningitis, yellow fever, and influenza.
If pilgrims do not possess the required digital vaccination proof, they will be denied the opportunity to travel. Airlines have been instructed to inform their Umrah pilgrims about this new requirement. Pilgrims can acquire their vaccination certificates from authorized vaccination centers. Additionally, vaccination and online entry facilities will be available at international departure areas.
It is advised that passengers seeking vaccination at the airport should arrive at least six hours before their scheduled flight. The new regulation explicitly states that no other type of vaccination card will be accepted after September 14, 2026.
