WHY VISAS ARE COMPLICATED IN PAKISTAN
Visa Processes Are More Complicated Than They Look, Especially for Pakistanis.
- Schengen visa applicants must provide a minimum bank balance of PKR 200,000, a confirmed paid hotel voucher, return air ticket, travel insurance, and work proof, missing any single document can result in rejection.
- UAE visa applicants require a 6-month bank statement with a maintained ending balance of PKR 300,000 for a 30-day visit, the balance must be consistently held, not just present at the time of application.
- UK visa processing takes approximately 25 days and requires all previous passports, a signed employer letter stating salary and designation, and a written explanation if any embassy has previously refused you a visa.
- Canada visa processing takes 35–40 working days and requires documented proof of ties to Pakistan, such as employment letters, bank statements, and family registration, to demonstrate intent to return.
- Singapore visa photo requirements alone have seven specific conditions, including dark clothing, no glasses, ears fully visible, and no head covering for female applicants, non compliant photos are grounds for rejection.
- Philippine visa applicants must have their bank statement attested by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, a step most online checklists fail to mention.
- A visa rejection stays on record and must be declared in future applications, including to UK and Schengen embassies, with a written explanation required.
A visa is not just documents, it’s how your case is presented.
Visas We Help Pakistani Travellers Get
At UA Travels, we assist Pakistani passport holders with visa applications for over 130+ destinations including the UK, USA, Canada, Australia, Schengen countries, UAE, Qatar, Bahrain, Turkey, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Azerbaijan, Indonesia, Sri Lanka, and the Philippines.
Every destination has different requirements, processing timelines, and embassy expectations. We track embassy requirement updates across all destinations we cover, so our guidance reflects what embassies are actually asking for right now, not what worked six months ago. Our team has assisted hundreds of Pakistani travellers with visa applications, from first-time applicants to those who have previously faced rejection and needed to rebuild their case correctly.
Whether you are applying for a short visit, a family trip, or travelling with a valid US, UK, or Schengen visa and want to know which additional countries you can access, we can guide you through it.
Why Visa Applications Are Getting Tougher Worldwide
Visa processing for Pakistanis has become more strict due to rising global tensions, tighter immigration controls, and increased scrutiny by embassies. What once worked easily now requires much more accuracy and up-to-date knowledge.
At the same time, misinformation is everywhere from social media “visa hacks” to outdated agent checklists and advice based on old experiences.
At UA Travels, we rely on current embassy requirements and real case insights, not rumours. Because what worked even a few months ago may no longer work today.
