India Cancels All Visas for Pakistani Nationals: What Travel Agents Must Know in 2025

📋 Required Documents for LTV Re-Application via e-FRRO

To successfully re-register, Pakistani nationals must upload the following:

• ✅ Copy of current valid LTV or expired visa

• ✅ Recent passport-sized photograph (white background)

• ✅ Proof of residential address in India (utility bill, rent agreement)

• ✅ Details of occupation and religious affiliation

• ✅ Copy of Indian citizenship application receipt (if already filed)
  

Applicants must ensure all documents are scanned, legible, and properly formatted to meet e-FRRO technical requirements.

⚠️ Consequences of Non-Compliance

The Indian government has made it clear: there will be no exceptions or extensions.

Failure to re-register by July 10, 2025, may result in:

• ❌ Immediate visa cancellation

• ⚖️ Legal action under the Foreigners Act, 1946

• 🚫 Deportation to Pakistan

• 🛑 Ineligibility for future Indian visas
  

This is a zero-tolerance policy, with local law enforcement authorized to begin legal proceedings post-deadline.

🧭 How B2B Travel Agents & Visa Consultants Can Help

This change presents both a challenge and an opportunity for B2B travel professionals. Here’s how you can support affected clients and maintain trust:

✅ 1. Visa Compliance Services

Offer re-registration assistance via e-FRRO, helping clients upload documents and troubleshoot errors.

✅ 2. Cross-Border Documentation Guidance

Support with translation, notary, and attestation of Pakistani-origin documents needed for application.

✅ 3. Regional Coordination

Coordinate with local officials (especially in Rajasthan, Punjab, Delhi) who are assisting with the transition.

✅ 4. Emergency Exit/Travel Solutions

If a client cannot meet compliance, assist with safe return planning, refunds, or third-country visa routing.

🏛️ State-Level Action: Rajasthan Steps Up

The Rajasthan government has already issued localized advisories asking LTV holders to comply without delay. District-level officers have been authorized to:

• Disseminate re-registration instructions

• Assist non-digital applicants

• Conduct local verification visits

If your agency works with clients in Rajasthan or neighboring states, coordinate with municipal FRRO desks for faster approvals.

📌 Final Thoughts

The 2025 cancellation of all Pakistani visas by India is a historic shift in South Asian immigration policy. For affected individuals, it is urgent. For B2B travel agents, it is a moment to lead—with accurate advice, professional services, and proactive coordination.
