Visa Free Countries on a Pakistani Passport
My lovely Pakistani passport was ranked the 4th worst in the world. That should come as no surprise. But I’m a glass half full kinda person. Haha, ok, maybe only when it comes to planning trips. Traveling is one of the most amazing experiences anyone can have, but sometimes the hassle of obtaining a visa can make it difficult. I cannot express the frustrations I feel when applying for visas. I’m trying to give the nomad life a go and in the process, wanted to find a list of countries I could easily travel to. If you hold a Pakistani passport, and like me, are stuck with this green trashy thing, here’s a list of countries that you could still visit visa free or get a visa on arrival. To the list I’ve added a few reasons for why you should go there, what kind of holiday you could have here and a rough daily budget in the country. What is not included is airfare to and from the country as prices vary depending on where you’re traveling from.
In addition to visa-free travel, I’ve also added to the list countries you can go to that allow Visa on Arrival, e-visa countries and countries where entry is eligible if you have a valid US, UK or Schengen visa.
Note: Please double check with the relevant embassies before planning your trip. I take no responsibility for money lost or deportation. Hope this helps!
