Pakistan Visa Invitation Letter
Get your Pakistan visa Letter of Invitation from a NADRA-listed tour operator
A Letter of Invitation (LOI) is a document from a government-licensed Pakistani tour operator that confirms your travel dates, itinerary and length of stay. Pakistan’s Ministry of Interior asks for it with most tourist e-visa applications.
Adventure Planners is on the NADRA Visa Portal’s approved tour operators list and holds tour operator licence LHR-9383. We issue LOIs for $50 per traveller, usually within 2–6 working hours, and have helped more than 5,000 tourists get their Pakistan visas. You don’t need to book a tour with us. If you do book a complete tour, your LOI is free.

2026 Visa Update
Why you need an LOI for a Pakistan tourist visa in 2026
From 1 January 2026, Pakistan suspended its Visa Prior to Arrival (VPA) facility, which had let some nationalities travel without supporting documents. Tourists must now hold an approved e-visa before they fly, and a Letter of Invitation from a licensed tour operator is a mandatory document for most tourist e-visa applications.
Apply for your visa 2–3 weeks before you travel. Airlines may refuse boarding to passengers without a valid e-visa. Read the full update: Visa Prior to Arrival has been suspended.

Who can issue a Pakistan visa invitation letter?
Only a tour operator licensed by the Government of Pakistan and listed on the NADRA Visa Portal can issue a valid LOI for a tourist visa. The licence must cover “Organizing tours for citizens of Pakistan or foreigners within Pakistan”. Letters from unregistered companies or individuals can delay your visa or lead to rejection.
Before you pay anyone for an LOI, ask for their licence and check their name on the NADRA approved tour operators list. Adventure Planners is on that list. Learn more: how to verify a Pakistan visa invitation letter is genuine.
