Pakistani passport holders now have several international travel options for their winter holidays, including destinations with visa-free entry, visas on arrival, and electronic travel authorisation (eTA). Recent developments in Qatar, Oman, and Saudi Arabia have introduced new visa facilities for eligible Pakistani nationals. In Qatar, Pakistani travellers can obtain a 30-day tourist visa-on-arrival, subject to certain conditions such as booking accommodation and purchasing health insurance.
Oman and Saudi Arabia have signed mutual visa exemption agreements with Pakistan, but these agreements apply only to diplomatic and special passport holders, not ordinary tourists. According to the Henley Passport Index, Pakistani passport holders can visit 29 destinations without a traditional visa, 15 with visas on arrival, and three with electronic travel authorisation.
