Entry/Exit Difficulties for U.S. Citizens
U.S. Citizens should ensure that their travel documents and visas are valid at all times. Americans throughout Pakistan have been arrested, deported, harassed, and detained for overstaying their Pakistani visas or for traveling to Pakistan without the appropriate visa classification.
U.S. Citizens who attempt to renew or extend their visas while in Pakistan have been left without legal status for an extended period of time and subjected to harassment or interrogation by local authorities. U.S. Citizens are encouraged to apply for renewal of travel documents at least 3 months prior to expiration because security threats might, on short notice, temporarily restrict the ability of the U.S. Missions, particularly in Peshawar, to provide routine consular services.
Jurisdiction
The Embassy has jurisdiction over the District of Columbia, Virginia, West Virginia, Maryland, North Carolina, South Carolina, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Jamaica, The Bahamas and the Dominican Republic.

U.S. Citizens
U.S. Citizens require a valid Pakistani visa to travel to Pakistan for any purpose. Travelers must obtain visas at a Pakistani Embassy prior to entering the country, as there are no provisions for visas upon arrival. Travelers arriving without a valid passport and a valid visa are subject to fine, arrest, incarceration and/or deportation.
Note: The presence of several foreign and indigenous terrorist groups poses a danger to U.S. Citizens throughout Pakistan. Protests against the United States are not uncommon and have the potential to turn violent. U.S. Citizens in Pakistan are strongly advised to avoid all protests and large gatherings.
