Visa-Free Countries for Pakistan Passport Holders
Reviewed May 2026 · Henley Passport Index rank ~97 · around 32 easy-access destinations
The Pakistani passport offers more limited mobility, with roughly 32 destinations reachable without a prior embassy visa through visa-free entry, visa on arrival, or eTA. Access is concentrated in the Caribbean, the Pacific, parts of Africa, and a handful of Asian destinations.
The lists below reflect a review of recent Henley Passport Index data and immigration sources in early 2026. Because Pakistan’s access list is relatively short and changes with diplomatic developments, verifying each destination before booking is especially important.
Always verify before you book. Visa rules change frequently and can differ by purpose of travel, length of stay, and entry point. Treat this as a starting point, then confirm the current requirement with the official source — for Pakistan, the Directorate General of Immigration & Passports, Pakistan — or the destination country’s embassy, before you travel.

Airside transit through major Gulf hubs is often possible without a transit visa; confirm with your airline if your itinerary requires changing terminals.
