How can I get Pakistan Visa on Travel Document ( Resedokument ) or Alien’s Passport ( Framlingspass ) ?

By Brain & Beauty
  Presently, Pakistan Online Visa System (POVS) does not accept Alien’s Passport (Framlingspass) and Travel Document (Resedokument) issued to asylum seekers. Travel Document is issued to asylum seekers under the United Nation Convention of 28 July, 1951. Similarly, Alien Passport is issued to those who cannot get the passport from their own country due to asylum or any other reason. In Sweden and Finland, Travel Document and Alien’s Passport are called Resedokument and Framlingspass respectively. Even if a person is Pakistani national and holds Travel Document or Alien Passport, still he/she cannot apply for Pakistan online visa.

Thus any person holds Travel document or Alien Passport should not apply for Pakistan online visa. Exception: There is only one exemption, if a person holds Alien
