South Korea visa for Pakistani citizens
e-Visa (apply online)
🇵🇰 Pakistani passport → 🇰🇷 South Korea: yes — an e-visa, applied for online before travel.
How it works
Apply online before you travel: passport scan, photo, fee. Approval typically takes a few days — apply at least a week ahead, print or save the approval, and carry it.
Heads-up: South Korea commonly asks for proof of onward travel (airline check-in (K-ETA)).

Beyond South Korea: the Pakistan passport
The 🇵🇰 Pakistan passport ranks #196 of 199 worldwide, entering 32 destinations without a visa arranged in advance (see the world ranking).
Also visa-free on the Pakistan passport: 🇩🇲 Dominica (180 days), 🇻🇺 Vanuatu (120 days), 🇧🇧 Barbados (90 days) — all 32 open destinations.
Going the other way? South Korean citizens visiting Pakistan need no visa, but an eTA (online authorisation) is required.
