A hassle-free tourist permit for your journey

Planning to explore the rugged beauty and hidden gems of Balochistan?

We simplify the process for you — Adventure Planners offers complete NOC assistance for tourists joining our guided Balochistan tours, so you can focus on the adventure while we handle the paperwork.

What is a Balochistan NOC?

A Balochistan NOC is an official permit issued by the Home Department of Pakistan, allowing foreign nationals to enter and travel within restricted areas of Balochistan. It is a legal requirement for foreign tourists, especially in regions like Gwadar, Quetta, Ziarat and Hingol National Park.

Did you know NOCs are processed free of charge by the Home Department in Quetta? Most operators won’t tell you that — they’ll charge anywhere from US$100–500. We established relationships directly with Quetta’s Home Department, so for our clients we only charge our real cost to print and courier your application documents.

  • For clients: around US$18 (PKR 5,000)
  • For non-clients (own travel arrangements & designated person): US$50

Balochistan NOC — Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a Balochistan NOC cost for foreigners?
For our clients we only charge our real cost to print and courier your documents to the Quetta Home Department — around US$18 / PKR 5,000. For non-clients who only need an NOC (with their own arrangements and a local designated person), the price is US$50.
What is an NOC?
While “NOC” is the common term, it isn’t really a “no objection certificate” — it’s a mandatory permit from the provincial government for all foreigners wishing to explore Balochistan. Applications pass through 5 sections of the Home Department; if approved, the result is an information letter to Balochistan law enforcement that a foreigner is approved to travel, with security assigned as needed.
Why is a Designated Person so important?
Each application requires a local Pakistani national listed as your liaison. The police contact this person to coordinate your security before you enter Balochistan and stay in constant contact during your trip. When we plan your tour (or car & driver), we arrange this for you. If you’re travelling with a local friend or have your own transport, you can provide their details to us.
Can I apply online or do it myself?
Unfortunately, no. Applications can only be submitted through a specialised tour operator like Adventure Planners, or via a government agency if you’re travelling on business or with the media.
Will I be charged extra for security during my trip?
No. If your NOC is approved and you’re cleared to travel, security is provided free of charge where the area requires it. Please note the assignment of security is handled case-by-case by the authorities and is outside our control.
