Yes, a friend in Pakistan can provide an invitation letter if you plan to stay with them during your visit.
Using a friend’s invitation letter
If you are visiting Pakistan to stay with a friend, an invitation letter from your host is commonly accepted as part of your visa application.
What the letter should include
- Your host’s full name and contact details
- Their address in Pakistan
- Your relationship with them
- Confirmation that you will stay with them
Supporting documents
In some cases, additional documents such as a copy of the host’s ID or residence proof may also be requested to support the letter.
This type of invitation helps establish where you will stay and gives authorities a local point of reference. It is especially useful when you are not using hotel bookings for your trip.
As long as the details are clear and consistent with your application, an invitation letter from a friend is generally sufficient.
