Even though Pakistan has the fourth-worst passport in the world, its people can still go to many countries without a visa or by getting a visa when they get there.
There are more than 30 countries where a Pakistani passport does not need a visa, but most of them are outside of Asia and hard to get to. So, I made a list of all the countries where Pakistani passport users do not need a visa, and they are all great places to visit. I have been to many of them myself.

So, you can get a visa when you arrive in 34 countries, and sometimes you do not even need a visa at all. Only (days) means you do not need a visa, and “arrival” means you can get a visa at the airport when you arrive. And “e-visa” means that you need to get an e-visa from the website of the country you want to visit, print it out, and carry it with you. Before you can get an e-visa online for Turkey or Georgia, you must have a current US or US, or Schengen visa on your Pakistani passport.
Top 10 Countries You Can Visit Visa Free on Pakistani Passport
Now, here is my list of the top 10 countries that people from Pakistan can visit and have a good time in without spending a lot of money. You do not have to think about a visa because you will either get one at the airport when you arrive or you do not need one at all.
Turkey
The first place on my list is Turkey. You can get a Turkey e-visa from their official website or a Turkey visa on arrival at any airport with your Pakistani passport.
To get a Turkey visa on arrival or from their website, however, you must already have a valid visa from one of the following countries: the Schengen area, the United Kingdom, or the United States.
If your Pakistani passport has just one of these valid visas, you can get a Turkey visa on arrival or an e-visa from their website in 5 minutes. You can get your e-visa right now by going to this official Turkey government website.
Turkey is only a five-hour flight from Pakistan. It is a very active and culturally rich country with many sights, such as the famous city of Istanbul. Middle Eastern companies like Etihad Airways, Emirates, Oman Air, and Qatar Airways make it easy to get a flight from Pakistan to Istanbul. It is not even that expensive, and you can get to Istanbul quickly.
Maldives
Do you like the beach? If so, you should go to the Maldives.
The great Maldives, which is the most beautiful country on earth, would be my second pick. The Maldives is a great place to relax with friends or your partner. Most people who go there are in pairs, but I have seen a lot of single guys walking around Male and Hulu Male. This tiny island country has a lot of beaches with white sand.
The Maldives were falling into the sea, and the UN said that they would soon be gone from Earth. However, they have done an amazing job of getting the land back. When I went to the Maldives on a Pakistani passport, I lived in Hulu Male, which is a city that was completely built on land that was taken from the sea. I will soon go back to the Maldives with my Pakistani visa because that is where my heart is.
One problem with Maldives is that it is a little bit expensive because everything is brought in from other countries. But for a one-week vacation, it wo not cost an arm and a leg.
There are many places to stay in the Maldives, and food does not cost that much. The food is a lot like Pakistani food, and there are a lot of spices used.
Myanmar (Burma)
Myanmar is one of the best places I have been to since I got my Pakistani passport. They give us an evisa for 28 days, and we have to fly to the country. One of my friends tried to drive to Myanmar, but he could not get in. So, I suggest you go by plane so you do not have to deal with all the trouble of flying with a Pakistani passport. Myanmar has taken my heart because it reminds me so much of Pakistan.
Myanmar is full of things to see and do. It has the big Buddha, which is one of the best things to see in Yangon, the city. Local markets are places where you can find Burma’s Muslim people living together in peace. Before I went to Myanmar, I had a lot of wrong ideas about it. When I got there, I was surprised to see this beautiful land of smiles.
The best thing about Myanmar is that it is a cheap Southeast Asian country. I can say with confidence that Burma is cheaper than Pakistan in terms of where to stay, what to eat, and how to get around. So, I put Myanmar on my list of the top 10 countries that do not need a visa for people with a Pakistani passport. To get your visa online, please go to this page.
Nepal
Nepal is home to the highest mountain in the world. It is a country in South Asia that is full of mountains. India and Nepal are very close to each other. Nepal’s culture is very similar to Indian culture, so if you want to experience Indian food and culture, you should go to Nepal.
There are a lot of places in Nepal like Murree and Naran. I went to Pokhara. It is a hill station, and even in the summer, the weather is cool. The best thing about Nepal is that everyone knows Hindi and Urdu, and it is the cheapest country in the world. I got a hotel room in the capital city of Kathmandu for two people, and it only cost Rs.600 per night. Even though the hotel was in Kathmandu’s main tourist area.
Kenya
With a visa from Pakistan, I have been to Kenya three times in the last four years. Pakistani people do not need a visa to visit Kenya, and you will be welcome there. Kenya is one of the few places in Africa with both a lot of wildlife and almost every kind of modern tourist facility. Whenever I went to Kenya, I never felt in danger. However, you should always be careful.
Kenya is one of my favorite places because it has a lot to offer guests. I’d also suggest going to Mombasa, which is Kenya’s port city and a nice place to visit besides Nairobi. Mombasa has a large number of people from India and Pakistan, and the beaches are great. Kenya is not a very expensive place to visit, but it is very expensive to fly within Kenya.
Please go here and get your e-visa before traveling to beautiful Kenya.
Bahrain
Bahrain is a small island country in the middle east, which is also known as the Persian Gulf. From the website below, Pakistani passport users can get a 14-day e-visa. I went to Bahrain in 2017 using the same evisa, and it was a nice trip.
Bahrain is very different from the other countries in the Middle East. It has a lively culture, and the people there are very accepting. But there are not many choices in Bahrain. Manama is the capital of Bahrain, and it is also the most interesting place to visit there.
Please visit this website to get a Bahrain e-visa.
Tajikistan
Tajikistan is a beautiful hilly country in central Asia. It is next to Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan. Most of Tajikistan is made up of mountains. Pakistani passport holders can enter Tajikistan without a visa, but they must get an e-visa before taking a flight to Tajikistan. The fee for an e-visa to Tajikistan is only $50 USD.
The best thing about Tajikistan is that food, housing, and transportation are all cheaper than in Pakistan. People in Tajikistan are very nice and helpful. In Tajikistan, I stayed with a few very helpful people.
Georgia
Tbilisi is the capital of Georgia and it is a lively city full of nightlife.
Georgia says that it is part of Europe. But because it is a Euro-Asian country, it has parts in both Asia and Europe. But I felt like I was in Europe when I went to Georgia with a passport from Pakistan. To apply for a Georgian e-visa online, you must have a current US, UK, or Schengen visa on your Pakistani passport. This is the same as the Turkey e-visa.
Before you go to Georgia, you should also make sure you have a return ticket, cash, a hotel reservation, and a record of where you have been. This is because they are very strict about letting Pakistani people in. But do not worry if people at the airport ask you questions. Be very calm and give cool answers to every question. You will be able to enter this paradise on Earth. People in Georgia are so kind and beautiful. It is a place to visit any time of the year.
Malaysia
Pakistanis have been able to get an e-visa to visit Malaysia for a long time now. I have been to Malaysia many times, and every time I go there, I find something new. Getting an e-visa for Malaysia is easy if you go to their main evisa website.
Malaysia is not a place with high prices. It fits into the budget for Southeast Asia very well. Most of the time, I have gone to Malaysia and Thailand at the same time. Both countries are easy to visit on a budget if you have a Pakistani visa.
Qatar
A lot of Pakistanis also live in Qatar, which is also in the middle east. The food is my favorite thing about Qatar. There are many Pakistani and Indian places in Doha. The 2022 FIFA World Cup will also be held in Qatar. Because of this, now is the best time to go to Qatar. People with a passport from Pakistan can go to Qatar without a ticket.
Pakistanis can go to Qatar without a visa, but they must have a return ticket, a hotel reservation, and a credit card. Also, you should only go to Qatar in the winter. The summer is too hot for most people to handle.
Conclusion
Pakistani passport holders do not have a lot of visa-free travel choices, but if you can not go to a country without a visa, the world wo not end. I have always told people how easy it is to get a visa with a Pakistani card, and I will keep doing that. I hope this list will convince you to travel with a Pakistani passport and that you will find these countries to be helpful and easy to get around in.
