Travel Information
Pakistan missions abroad are authorized to grant visit/tourist visas for three-month stays with double entry to foreigners from the 175 List-A countries.

RPOs have been authorized to extend tourist visas up to a maximum period of six months, including the initial visa period, and condone overstays of up to 15 days with payment of visa fees of USD$10.

For northern areas, the deputy commissioners of Gilgit and Skardu have been authorized to allow visa extensions to tourists for three months with one re-entry, charging visa fee as per policy.

Climate is the key factor in deciding when and where to travel in Pakistan. There are generally four seasons: cold season (December to March), hot season (April to June), monsoon season (July to September), and post-monsoon season (October and November). There are, however, distinct regional variations. The trekking season starts in late April and finishes by late October, peaking from mid-June to mid-September.
The unit of Pakistani money is the Rupee (Rs), which is divided into 100 paisa. Paper notes come in denominations of Rs.5000, Rs.1000, Rs.500, Rs.100, Rs.50, Rs.20 and Rs.10, and there are Rs.5, Rs.2 and Rs.1 coins.
