Student Visa – Pakistan Online Visa System
Government of Pakistan has launched online visa system (Pakistan Online
Visa) w.e.f April 2019. The time required for processing study visa cases is 28
working days which translates into approf.6 weeks.
All Nepalese students studying in Pakistan under various programs are
therefore advised to apply for new/ extension in study visa online at least six
weeks before their entry (or re-entry) into Pakistan. Online visa can be applied
from anywhere in Pakistan/ own country, that provides an easy way of applying
for visa well in advance. The same timeframe (6 weeks) would also be followed
for applying manual visa at Pakistan Embassy Kathmandu, Nepal.

be required for issuance of manual as well as online study visa:-
