Please be advised that the following information is liable to change without notice and that you should obtain up to date advice from a travel expert or your government before departing your home country.

Due to the ongoing conflict in Afghanistan there is a high threat of terrorism against foreign nationals in Pakistan. Travelers should avoid large groups and gatherings, and take care not to get involved in any kind of social protest.

While resident in, or traveling through Pakistan, you should remain alert for any government announcements pertaining to civil unrest or terrorist acts and follow official directions accordingly.

There is a high incidence of crime in Pakistan, especially in the major cities of Islamabad and Karachi. The most common type of crimes against foreign nationals include cases of petty theft involving passports and wallets, armed car robbery, kidnappings, and murders. Foreign nationals should be aware of their potential risk as political statements while in the country.

Pakistan is a predominately Muslim country. As such many of the local laws and customs are based on the Muslim faith. Visitors and foreign nationals are expected to dress modestly and respect all Muslim customs and behaviors, especially during the holy month of Ramadan.

Pork products and Alcohol are not allowed to be imported to Pakistan unless previously approved by the Pakistani government. Homosexuality and Co-habitation by unmarried couples are illegal. These offences can be punished with long term prison terms.
All drugs are illegal in Pakistan. Even possessing small amounts of a narcotic substance can lead to severe penalties. It is important that you do not become involved with drugs during your stay in the country.

For males, if you or your father were born in Pakistan, even if you do not hold a Pakistani passport, or consider yourself to be a Pakistani national, you may be considered a "Pakistani" by the local authorities. This can mean that you are liable for military service and that the full range of local laws are applicable in your specific case. Please consult your government before traveling to Pakistan if this is the case in your situation.

Foreign nationals and visitors to Pakistan are advised not to take pictures of military instillations, airports, or any "sensitive" infrastructure (including bridges, dams, or train stations).

If you wish to take a picture of a ¡§sensitive¡¨ area you should first obtain permission from an official. Try not to take photographs in Pakistan's outlying border areas.

Most foreign nationals require a Visa to enter Pakistan. Visa's are only issued on passports that have more than 6 months currency when entering the country.
