Who can apply for a Tabligh visa? +
The Tabligh Visa is a dedicated category for Muslim foreign nationals coming to Pakistan to take part in Tableeghi (religious propagation) activities. You need an invitation from an authorised Tableeghi centre, a valid passport (6+ months), and you must meet the conditions set for this category. It is distinct from tourist and pilgrimage visas.
What is the invitation letter for a Tabligh visa? +
It is the key document for this category, an invitation from an established, authorised Tableeghi centre in Pakistan confirming your Tableeghi activities. You must upload it with your application.

As with other ETA routes, you apply online first and, on approval, receive the ETA that authorises your travel. Whether you qualify depends on your nationality and circumstances, we confirm your eligibility.
Do I need to register during my Tabligh visit? +
Some applicants may need to register with the Foreigner Registration Office (FRO), and you must comply with the specific conditions of the Tabligh Visa throughout your stay.
