I am in Islamabad now. Some friends of mine left about 1 hour ago to cross the border. I am certain it is open, the Indian embassy here in Pakistan gave us our visas just today and didnt mention a thing. The Pakistani embassy in Turkey doesn't like to issue visas from there, this is probably why you heard that there. We tried and tried there but we couldnt get a visa out of him. In Tehran it is an easy process.

Quincy

Ty very much for the info. i am a bit relaxed now.

You can't obtain touristical visa, only business visa u can have from Turkey. The same fella at Pakistan Embassy/istanbul also said that u can only pass from airport customs with business visa, and you cannot pass borderline..Ridicilous.

Obviously they dont want more ppl in Pakistan..lol


Trip gonna start at 17-18 Sept. Less than 2 months..
