The online visa service for Afghans would be available in three weeks, according to Pakistani Interior Minister Sheikh Rashid. During a press conference, the minister stated that when the online procedure is implemented, visas would only be issued to Afghans who have applied through the online site.
The visa on arrival program will be phased down, and citizens of the nation would have to apply in advance using an online system. In this regard, Sheikh Rashid stated that a report has been given to the federal cabinet to abolish the $8 fee obligation.
According to the minister, around 20,000 individuals have crossed into Pakistan from Afghanistan. “Approximately 6,000 individuals have fled Pakistan for Afghanistan. Over 10,000 individuals have emigrated to other nations “Added he.
Pakistan also authorized an Afghan airline to fly from Islamabad to Kabul last month. Kam Air, an Afghan private airline, has been granted permission to fly three times a week between Islamabad and Kabul.
According to Irfan Sabir, director of CAA Air Transport, the airline has become the first Afghan airline to conduct foreign flights since the Taliban took control.
After the Taliban took control of Kabul on August 15, flight operations in Afghanistan came to a standstill. On September 5, domestic flights were restarted.
