A visa is issued when you land, usually a short form and a fee right at the border. Check the fee and permitted stay before you fly.
Apply online before you travel; approval usually arrives within a few days by email. No embassy visit needed, you land with the document ready.
A visa must be obtained before travelling, via an embassy or consulate of the destination country.

About the Pakistan Passport
Pakistan sits in the lower tier of the passports we rank, at position 73. The passport offers visa-free entry to 12 destinations, and total mobility reaches 83 once eTA, visa on arrival and e-Visa options are included. North America and Africa are the leading regions with 5 destinations each, while Oceania trails with only 2. The remaining access depends largely on online applications and arrival permits.
Three of the key destinations can be entered with an e-Visa: Australia, the United Arab Emirates and Singapore. Travelers still need to arrange a visa in advance for France and the Schengen area, the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada, Japan, China and Brazil. Given how much of the map requires paperwork, a second citizenship such as Malta Citizenship by Merit could add up to 96 destinations.
