I am a pakistani canadian, planning to enter pakistan from china by road (KKH), on my own car; would I be able to do that and without hassle?

Bonjour mon ami,

You don't need a visa if you've dual nationality.

For a car, you'd need a Carnet, without that you'd not be allowed to cross from whether by Chinese authorities into Pakistan nor Pakistanis would let you in.

Travelers are still able to cross into Pakistan through KKH? I was a bit worry due to the current situation in north-west Pakistan..

Are we still able to get visa-on arrival in Gilgit if crossing through KKH?

thanks..

Hi,

Gilgit, Skardu and Chitral are very safe, so no worries.

You could get an entry visa at Sust while coming from China and you could extend it in Gilgit and Skardu.

happy travels.

Hi Imran, thanks for your information, Pakistan embassy in China refused to issue me the visa due to safety issue. In this case I will just proceed by land to Pakistan. Please update us if there is any changes in border crossing.. thanks!

Visa fee for Malaysian: 8USD; Singapore: 15USD

The bus from Kashgar said to be departed everyday at 12 noon but only go if there is more than 10 people. Anytime in the day if there is more than 10, it will go regardless of the time. Our bus left Kashgar at 4pm.

Independent traveler can leave the contact with the worker who do the loading in the bus station or take a private car to Tashkurgan and join the international bus on the 2nd day. Private car to Tashkurgan costs 80yuan per person for 4 in a group.
