Take note of: This data just applies to Dutch subjects or
anybody enlisted as living in the Netherlands. Pakistan requires that
individuals apply for visas in their home/inhabitant nation.
Getting a Pakistani visa was way less demanding (and
speedier!) than we anticipated. At last, it just took us two days, and it could
have been done in one. Nonetheless, there are two or three things you have to
know and organize before you can make a beeline for the international safe
haven and apply for a visa.
Before you apply: a letter of welcome
Much the same as getting an Iranian visa, you require a
letter of welcome from Pakistan. For this situation, a letter of welcome is a
letter by a perceived visit office in Pakistan, welcoming you to Pakistan since
you booked a "visit" with them. As a general rule, you don't really
need to book any sort of visit with these organizations, unless, you know, you
truly can't help it.
We got our own through Snowland Tours, and it couldn't have
been less demanding. Our contact, Kamal, was super useful, and strangely
provoke with his reactions. He would for the most part react inside minutes.
We're not in reality beyond any doubt when he dozes, if at any point. You can
get in touch with him/Snowland at snowlandtours@gmail.com. It cost us €50
(Rs.5350) per individual, sent through Western Union to an office deliver gave
to us.
We needed to give the accompanying data:
• Arrival
and flight dates to and from Pakistan. We expected a 30-day trip.
•
"Real" spots of visit–we specified Islamabad, Taxila, Lahore, Multan,
and Rawalpindi
• Avoid
specifying places like Gilgit/Hunza, Peshawar, Chital, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa
(KPK), Balochistan, trekking anyplace in the north, entering by means of China
(Sost).
• 1
duplicate of travel permit data page
•
Residential address
•
Occupation and office address. Maintain a strategic distance from notices of
news coverage, squeeze, governments, and so on.
Minor hours in the wake of getting our Western Union
exchange, Kamal sent us our LOIs, substantial for 3 months from that minute.
The quick responder strikes once more!
Before you apply: a plane ticket
As indicated by the visa application frame, you require a
duplicate of a plane ticket or booking affirmation of your flight to Pakistan.
Presently on the off chance that you resemble us and plan to travel overland,
this can be dangerous. There are two things you can do:
• Buy a
refundable ticket, print the affirmation and after that cross out the ticket
• Modify an
old booking affirmation to make it resemble a flight to Pakistan
Since we are misers and additionally don't trust carriers to
really pay us back everything in any sort of convenient mold, we went for
alternative two. In case you're in a comparative mentality, you can simply get
in touch with us for more data
Bear in mind to purchase a travel protection that spreads
Pakistan! Most customary travel protection suppliers don't, on account of
Pakistan's unsafe nature. We prescribe First Allied Travel Insurance, which
represents considerable authority in high hazard zones, for example, Pakistan.
Applying at the Pakistan
international safe haven in The Hague
When you have the majority of your papers all together, it's
a great opportunity to go to the government office!
The international safe haven is situated on Amaliastraat 8,
and is open from Monday to Friday, with consular hours from 09:00-12:00. The
government office is additionally open on each first Saturday of the month,
however as discovered we out, they can't issue visas on Saturdays.
You can arrive from The Hague focal station (Den Haag
Centraal) or The Hague Holland Spoor (Den Haag HS). From focal, take either
transport 22 or 24 to Mauritskade. From Holland Spoor, take cable car 1 to
Mauritskade. It's a one moment stroll from that point.
Application agenda
• A filled
in application frame, in capital letters. You can download the shape here.
• Two
travel permit estimate photographs. Evidently these need a blue foundation, yet
the representative at the consulate didn't appear to care that our own were
dark.
• A
duplicate of your travel permit
• A
duplicate of your residency allow (if material)
• Visa
application expense. €72 for most European nationals, €130 for UK nationals.
As per the application shape, it takes no less than five
working days to process visa applications. Be that as it may, under ordinary
conditions, it appears you'll get your visa the same day–there aren't many
individuals arranging to visit Pakistan (the man was amazed when we requested
vacationer visas). We at first went on Saturday, however in the wake of sitting
tight for 60 minutes, the agent requesting that we return on Monday, since his
supervisor wasn't there and he wasn't approved to give out visitor visas. We
approached in the event that it was alright for just a single of us and
apply/get both visas, and he said it was no issue.
The next Monday, I touched base around 10 o'clock. I got a
number (not that anybody really thought about them, so either come early or be
set up to assert your spot when important), sat tight for around 10 minutes and
went to the work area. After 30 minutes in the wake of delivering the
applications, I was approached to pay €72 for my visa (Netherlands) and €130
for Alex (UK). When I paid, I was told I could get the international IDs in 30
minutes. after 40 minutes, I exited with both travel permits, finish with
sparkling new visas!
The visas are legitimate for 45 days of go in Pakistan, and
can be utilized to enter the nation for roughly four months from the date of
endorsement. Most data on the web says that you typically just have 3 months to
enter the nation, so take note of this could change by government office.
With everything taken into account: incredible achievement!
