Mandatory Requirement for International Travellers Arriving in Pakistan on Special Flights
All international passengers travelling to Pakistan are required to fill in the Personal Declaration of Origin and Health form at the time of check-in to get their boarding passes. Passengers will hand over this form to the Health Department Staff present at the airport upon arrival.
Passengers arriving in Pakistan will go through established health-screening procedures and will have to comply with Government of Pakistan’s quarantine and isolation requirements. Due to suspension of domestic flights and lockdowns, PIA will not be able to provide any service beyond your arrival city. If you are travelling out of the city to your final destinations, please plan your journey and make arrangements accordingly in advance.
These measures are being taken to control the spread of novel coronavirus in Pakistan.
