Pakistan has stopped issuing manual visas in all its embassies from Monday, February 1 in line with the directions of the Interior Ministry.

According to the details, non-resident Pakistanis and others interested in traveling to the country are asked to apply through the online visa portal.

In a statement, a spokesperson for the Pakistani embassy in Riyadh advised the visa applicants to submit their applications online.
