Hey guys, I am wondering if anyone can give me some advice. I have a K1 application processing. I just want to know after we get married, what kind of visa can I apply for to visit Pakistan? I went to Pakistan last May. Got approved in a week. I reapplied to visit in December and was denied. My heart completely broke because I missed my sister-in-law's wedding and it's been a long time since I saw my fiance and the family. I don't want to have to keep applying for tourist visas every time I want to visit Pakistan. But also I read that POC is not given to non-Pakistani spouses anymore. Would I be able to get a multiple entry visa that last longer than a regular tourist visa? All these applications, and processing, and waiting is so stressful. Any help or advice would be appreciated a lot. Thanks!

You can totally get a POC, I just applied for mine at the end of December (the 29th). Visa process for a spouse is the same as for a visit, except you include a copy of your nikah nama and should be able to get a multi year multi entry visa. If you have more questions about the POC let me know.

Nope, DO NOT even bother to look at the embassy/consulate websites, the information is wrong. Best bet is to communicate directly with NADRA.
