United Kingdom visa for Pakistani citizens
Visa required
🇵🇰 Pakistani passport → 🇬🇧 United Kingdom: yes — a visa arranged in advance.
How it works
You'll need a visa arranged in advance through the embassy or consulate (or an authorised visa centre): application form, passport photos, fee, and often proof of funds, accommodation and onward travel. Start early — processing can take weeks.
Heads-up: United Kingdom commonly asks for proof of onward travel (airline check-in and border).
Before the airport: run the "Will I board?" checklist for this route →
Beyond United Kingdom: 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? British citizens visiting Pakistan need no visa, but an eTA (online authorisation) is required.
