Pakistan Plans Special Visa and Travel Facilitation for Selected Indian Sikh Visitors
Pakistan's intelligence agency, the ISI, is reportedly developing a special visa and travel facilitation system for selected Indian Sikh visitors. This plan includes e-visas, smart-gate immigration, and digital entry-exit records without physical passport stamps, allowing discreet travel. Selected individuals may be encouraged to transit through third countries before entering Pakistan. The initiative aims to ease cross-border religious travel amid increasing restrictions, with arrangements limited to a carefully chosen group.
