About This Visa
Indian ordinary-passport holders need a visa. They are not visa-free. Usual staff path for someone living in India: visit visa at the High Commission of Pakistan, New Delhi. This is not a walk-in tourist e-Visa. Pakistan Online Visa (https://visa.nadra.gov.pk) lists India on “List of Countries B”, not on the 192-country tourist/visit e-Visa list. Do not start a NADRA tourist file for a Delhi-resident Indian.
The High Commission visit form asks duration (under 1 month / 6 months / 1 year / 2 years) and single, double, or multiple entry. Fee on the visit page: INR 120 per entry for Indian citizens. Pay to the High Commission RBL account or by card at the counter (3% extra). They need a sponsor in Pakistan for each city on the itinerary. Incomplete forms are not processed.
NADRA also says that from 1 January 2021 all visa applications go through the online system. The High Commission still publishes this paper visit list. Keep both. Confirm which channel they will actually take that day before you quote a filing path.
