There is no red tapism, the usual requirements to prove your source of income; Passport/CNIC/NICOP are required you cannot open an online account now due to FATF requirements and usual KYC/AML/CFT implemented worldwide.
Internationally since most of the data is centralized and available as per required but in Pakistan the data is still distributed and we are more fond of paper therefore you have to present yourself in the bank where they will take your Passport/CNIC/NICOP along proof/source of income CSR if you are in europe and they will perform biometric.
Check if there is a branch of Dubai Islamic Bank or one of big 5 pakistani banks in whichever country you are it will be easier to open an account in Pakistan later.
