Good news for Sikh pilgrims who’ve been planning to visit Pakistan! The government has made a big announcement – Sikh pilgrims can now enter the country without paying any visa fees.
Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi made this announcement in a meeting with a 44-member delegation of Sikh pilgrims who recently arrived from the United States. Naqvi welcomed them with open arms at the State Guest House and ensured that getting a visa here is now a breeze. According to him, Sikh pilgrims can get their visas right at the airport within just half an hour. No fees, no hassle, just a warm welcome!
Naqvi also shared that Sikh pilgrims on US passports can visit as many times as they want without facing any issues. He encouraged them to explore sacred sites like Hassan Abdal, Nankana Sahib, and Kartarpur. Naqvi assured everyone that any hurdles would be sorted out quickly, making the trip smoother than ever.
“If you have a passport, just close your eyes and come,” Naqvi stated confidently. Besides, he added, Pakistan is ready to welcome visitors for upcoming cricket events, including the Champions Trophy, with special arrangements for Sikh pilgrims and visitors from India.
For Sikh pilgrims holding passports from the US, Canada, and the UK, the visa application is even more convenient – they can apply online and receive their visas within 30 minutes. The government’s aim? Hosting a whopping one million Sikh pilgrims every year! Moreover, visa-free entry has now been extended to citizens from 124 countries, marking a truly warm gesture by Pakistan.
