Visa for Pakistan

Hi all

My Pakistan visa application form requires details of an outgoing flight. Can anyone tell me how they have answered this without prejudicing the application?

Also, has anyone experienced any problems getting a Turkish visa when entering from Bulgaria?

Only way to get the visa for Pakistan is to by a full outbound ticket for a date well after you intend to leave, put these details down on the visa application, but then on leaving get a refund on the ticket.

Turkey no matter what border should not be an issue if traveling on a German passport, and even UK passports require all but a small expense for the stamp.

do not need any tickets for the Pakstani visa. Get another visa showing your onward journey.. i.e. indian visa.
This would have been the case up until a few weeks ago. this all depends now on the problem over there between the two countries. Myself and another couple of bikers plan to head through iran and pakistan in about two weeks. we are at the border of iran now. i hold a brit passport and had no difficulty in getting a iranian 30 day tourist visa along with pak and india. Get the indian one first, then pak, then iran.
Cheers - Spud

See the news last night..? Foreign Office advising all Brit nationals to leave Pak... Check the websites etc.

All because the Kashmir issue hotting up, and the Karachi suicide bomb. Keep your wits about you and you'll be fine, however I don't know where you stand in terms of insurance, assistance from embassies etc if you've been advised to stay out.
