The government has changed visa policy for foreign diplomats assigned in the country with a view to make it convenient for them in availing Pakistani visa. The Foreign Office sources said that under the new visa policy, the foreign diplomats are required to avail one time Pakistan's visa upon arrival in the country for their terms of appointments in the country.

They said that the earlier condition under which the foreign diplomats were required to apply for Pakistani visa every year has been abolished and now they will be issued a one time visa for their tenure of diplomatic assignments in the country. The sources said that the notification by the government of Pakistan in this regard was issued and received at the Protocol Division, Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
