Situation for travel to Pakistan from Uk

[WebMaster]

They do.

I think going out of Pakistan with Turkish airlines you require a test, however coming from lets say USA to Pakistan, you don't need a test. My friend just traveled that way.

Hi. Please Help

Whats situation when fly from England to Pakistan? Do you need coronavirus test certificate? Thinking to use Qatar Airways with detour in Doha. I believe Qatar Airways does not want certificate but Pakistan immigration might?

For my uncle he has valid British passport and expired Pakistan one. Nadra card is valid too.

Anyone been or know someone from UK that has recently gone or will go soon.

Cheers

No covid testing required or mandatory to land in pakistan however recommend that you should get one done for the sake of others around you

You are correct. What you also find is its an ever changing situation. In the UK - you get daily updates on which country you are and not ok to have a test. There is are also a list of countries where if one is returning from - one must isolate for 14 days.

Yes, that would fit in with my experiance. When I went I did not require a test. However on my return a test was required.

They do.

Not if you are prepared to give Rs25,000 in which case they will turn a blind eye. This is from experiance when I left Islamabad in early August on Turkish Airlines to UK via Istanbul.

Well that’s the greatnesses of our nation where money talks.

This is messed up, don’t even know if Pakistan results would be provided in time and if it’s safe in regards to their sterilization procedures.

You need to go to whose medical Labs only which are recommended by the Specific airlines. I am going on Ettihad and they only accept results from Agha Khan, Chughtai, Islamabad Lab and Shoukat Khanum with in 96 hours. You will get these info on their website as well.

I think for British Airways it is not mandatory yet. I am in Pakistan now and have not seen any such news. You can use NHS results as it is valid for all airlines.

Situation has changed now want covid test results after 5th oct. Not sure if nhs results are valid, they only send a text detailing results. They do mention full name and date of birth on text, so that might make it valid evidence.

No harm in confirming with airline. Usually govt institutions carry more weight.
