Pakistan, as a country, has not been the worlds most favorite. (Let’s hope Imran Khan changes that with Naya Pakistan) And the Pakistani passport was initially ranked the second lowest in 2016 out of 196 countries. Although it went up a notch and became third lowest in the ranking in 2027, it is still not the best place to be in.

Nevertheless, Pakistanis are able to visit a total of 43 countries without visa or visa on arrival. Some of these countries also offer e-visa to Pakistani citizens. It can be obtained online before traveling to that country. Visa to these 43 countries is either on arrival or not required for Pakistani citizens. But Pakistani passport holders must fulfill other general requirements such as a return ticket, hotel booking, and enough funds to justify their stay in any of these countries.
