Pakistan arrival card: Digital Disembarkation Card (NADRA)

Common questions

Do I need an arrival card for Pakistan?

It's optional. Pakistan offers the Digital Disembarkation Card (NADRA) online, and filling it in before you fly can make arrival faster. NADRA publishes a user guide for a digital disembarkation card, but no official page setting out the rules could be opened and UK FCDO does not mention one. A visa is required for most nationalities and should be obtained before travel (visa.nadra.gov.pk); some nationalities can apply for a visa on arrival.

How much does the Digital Disembarkation Card (NADRA) cost?

Arrival forms are normally free on official government channels. Don't pay a third-party website to submit it for you.

Is the Digital Disembarkation Card (NADRA) the same as an arrival card or entry form?

Yes. Countries use different names for the same thing: arrival card, arrival form, entry form, immigration card, landing card, ED (embarkation and disembarkation) card. For Pakistan, the official name is the Digital Disembarkation Card (NADRA).

Do I still need a visa for Pakistan?

An arrival form is not a visa. Whether you need a visa or an electronic travel authorization depends on your nationality, so check Pakistan's official immigration website or your own government's travel advice.
