Visa on Arrival Countries for Pakistani Passport

Most lists of visa on arrival countries for Pakistani passport holders stop at the country name. They never add the flight, so a "cheap visa" country can still be an expensive trip. This list ranks every visa on arrival country a Pakistani passport can reach by real total cost. Each price covers flight, visa and a five-night budget stay.

Where you would actually be going

The table above answers "can I afford it." This section answers "would I actually want to go."

Nepal, Kathmandu

The Himalayas rise like a dream above Kathmandu's old temples and prayer flags. Watch the sun light up Annapurna, sip hot tea on a mountain trail, and feel the deep calm of the hills. Nepal is humbling, beautiful and full of heart.

Laos, Luang Prabang

The calm heart of Southeast Asia. Robed monks at dawn in Luang Prabang, waterfalls the colour of jade, and the slow Mekong drifting by. Laos simply asks you to breathe out and enjoy the moment.

Indonesia, Yogyakarta

Bali alone could steal your heart, rice terraces, gentle temples and soft island mornings. Beyond it lie thousands more islands, volcanoes to climb and reefs to explore. Indonesia is lush, peaceful and full of soul.

Nepal is the easy win

Kathmandu, Pokhara and Chitwan all land at essentially the same price, the cheapest visa-on-arrival trip available by a wide margin. Short flight, low visa fee (₨8k), low on-ground cost. If you want the lowest-friction trip on this whole list, Nepal is it.

Southeast Asia holds the middle of the list

Laos, Indonesia and Cambodia sit in a tight band between ₨185k and ₨222k. All three charge a visa-on-arrival fee under ₨15k and none require anything beyond landing and paying at the counter. Between them, the choice comes down to trip style: Laos and Cambodia for temples and a slower pace, Indonesia (Bali, Yogyakarta) for a mix of beach and culture.

The less obvious ones: Madagascar, Ghana, Iran, Senegal

These four rarely show up on generic "visa-free" or "easy visa" lists aimed at Western passports, but they're genuinely visa-on-arrival for a Pakistani passport. Iran in particular is worth knowing about given the historical and cultural draw, and its visa fee (₨7k) is the lowest on this entire list.

Bolivia is the outlier

At ₨553k, Bolivia costs roughly three times Nepal for the same visa category. The gap is almost entirely the flight (₨498k of the ₨553k total), not the visa itself, which is still a flat ₨8k on arrival. If South America is the goal, this is the visa-on-arrival option, just budget for the distance.

What this visa on arrival list leaves out

eVisa and visa-free countries aren't counted here, even though several (Turkey, Malaysia and Thailand) are cheaper overall than some of the countries above. This list is specifically the visa-on-arrival category: no pre-approval, no application, pay at the border.

FAQ

Is this every visa-on-arrival country for a Pakistani passport? These are the ones that also clear a reasonable budget trip in Locovise's data. A handful of other visa-on-arrival destinations exist that either lack curated cost data or fall outside a typical trip budget.

Why does Bolivia cost so much more than the rest? Distance. The flight is almost four times Nepal's, while the visa fee is roughly the same across the whole list.
