Pakistan will issue visas on arrival to delegates and journalists traveling to the Islamabad Talks 2026, Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar announced on April 10.
In a statement posted on X, Dar said the government would also request airlines to allow eligible passengers to board flights to Pakistan without obtaining visas in advance. Immigration authorities will instead issue visas upon arrival, Caliber.Az reports.
Iranian and US officials are due to meet in Islamabad, as part of a ceasefire deal, for talks to negotiate a lasting peace, which was seen as a resounding diplomatic victory for Pakistan.
The official confirmed that the key delegations were due to arrive on the morning of April 10. On the US side, the White House confirmed their negotiating team would be led by vice-president JD Vance, with special envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner also travelling to Islamabad.
Iranian officials said their delegation would include foreign minister Abbas Araghchi and parliament speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, who were both part of the ceasefire negotiations. Senior figures from Iran’s revolutionary guard are also expected to attend.
