Guys, is there a way for me, a US citizen to get a 5 year multiple entry visa to Pakistan? I'm trying to get my visa now, last time I went they gave me single entry for 30 days, but we want a longer one now. Any suggestions?

Guys,

Please don’t waste your time for applying VISA. I suggest you (Which I did for my wife), If you are married to a Pakistani national and you are a US citizen, then apply for POC card (Pakistan Origin Card). This card is valid for 7 years and u can travel to Pakistan any time without a visa. All you need to show is POC card at point of entry. If you got this card you can even buy property in Pakistan and much more...here you go...let me know if any question you have...Ok

Pakistan Origin Card

For American Citizens

POC Requirements:

Completed POC Application form .

· 2 current photographs (passport size, light blue or white background preferred).

· Money order or cashier's check for the fee is $100 for adults, $50 for minors (below 18 years) made payable to the Embassy or Consulate General. US $ 10.00 additional for Home Delivery by DHL .

· Copy of American/Foreign passport. Foreign passport must be valid for at least 6 months at the time of application. Expired passport copies will not be accepted.

· At least 1 proof of Pakistani origin :

Copy of old Pakistani passport

Copy of old National ID Card (NIC)

Proof of property owned in Pakistan

(Proof of relationship with a Pakistani e.g. Marriage or Birth Certificate ), along with the relative's Pakistani passport or NIC.

· One Self addressed prepaid envelope if sending by mail (stamped and self-addressed). Please make sure to send a document-size envelop so we can send back portions of applications if so needed. This envelope will be used to send you back your receipt as well.

IMPORTANT: POC

• information on Pakistani relative living in Pakistan (Column 19-21)

• Personal information, left thumb impression and signature (Column 26) are required. For children, left thumb impression is required. In place of their signature, just write their names.

Note: Please surrender original CNIC card issued by NADRA if you are applying for a POC

I will add more, please call Pakistan embassy and asked them more details, .that’s what I did and it will take about 2 to 3 months to get POC, but huge benefits... If you would like to go for Visa, ask some one from Pakistan and or your Husband to send you invitation... Then possibly you will get a multiple visa.

Thanks,

IT.

good job

to JFK,NY......I dont know where is ur office,so indirectly i dont know gulf's office.LOL ......but in my opinion Gulf sucks big time.I flew gulf once just to get a friday departure so i can arrive early for my sister's wedding,cuz of delay i missed my connection n spent 24 hrs at the worst airport ever Charles de Gaulle Paris in the cold where no one speaks a world of english,it was an alien world.I ended up arriving pak two days late n i got my luggage 3 days later at her wedding day n my whole trip was screwed.Probably he will be flying PIA,Qatar,emirates or etihad depending on the transit time between flights n ticket price.PIA doesnt fly from islamabad anymore so he has to go thru Karachi or Lahore he checked PIA and its about 65k oneway ,i m not sure if thats a gud price...

I m gonna tell him to chk blue area too ...thanks for ur help

LOL cute....right so my office is in blue area....ermmmm best examply right infront of parliment house! You gotta know where that is. So anyway, yes I am sure you had a bad experience, however Gulf is the best option nowadays! My mother and sister in law just flew back in april w/o any problems. So who is to say they might have improved?!?!

I also have bad experience with gulf; I lost 2 bags and 1 stoler. That was my ist and last travel with them. Few months back I went with Emirates and they were way better the Gulf...Nice service: thumbs: My next travel 1: Emirates 2 PIA.

although PIA is our national airline but i would suggest qatar airways.its pretty good except for qatar airport where the security people which are stern and kind of emotionless.the rest of journey is pretty good.

it lands at washington dallas airport, virginia.
