Tokyo to Badin (HND–BDN) — Airlines, Schedules & Connections

Japanese passport holders need a visa to enter Pakistan. The eVisa at visa.nadra.gov.pk is the standard route. A single-entry tourist visa (30 days) costs $8 for Japanese nationals, and a 3-month multiple-entry business visa costs $15. Processing takes 7 to 10 business days. Visa on arrival is available at Islamabad (ISB), Lahore (LHE), and Karachi (KHI) airports for select nationalities including Japan, costing $50 for a 30-day single-entry stay.

For the eVisa, upload a passport scan (valid for at least 6 months with two blank pages), a passport photo, hotel booking or invitation letter, and return ticket. The approved eVisa is emailed as a PDF. Print it. For visa on arrival, bring the same documents in printed form plus two passport photos. Business visas require a letter from the inviting Pakistani company and your Japanese employer.

No direct flights connect Japan to Pakistan. Route through Bangkok (PIA and Thai Airways), Dubai (Emirates and PIA), or Doha (Qatar Airways) to reach Islamabad, Lahore, or Karachi. Total travel from Tokyo runs 14 to 18 hours. Pakistan uses the Pakistani rupee (PKR), trading at roughly 1.9 PKR per JPY. No mandatory vaccinations for arrivals from Japan, but a polio vaccination certificate may be requested on departure from Pakistan. ATMs dispense PKR 25,000 to PKR 50,000 per transaction, and Visa/Mastercard work at larger hotels and malls.
