KABUL (Kashmir English): The Pakistani Embassy in Kabul has rejected reports of knowledge of a black market for Pakistani visas, emphasising its unwavering commitment to a fair and accessible visa system for Afghans.

In a rebuttal shared with Arab News, the Embassy of Pakistan in Kabul said, “It has no official agents, intermediaries, or affiliated travel companies authorized to collect money” from visa applicants.

“The embassy’s official visa fee is published transparently and must be paid directly via credit card. We are aware that many applicants lack credit cards and often rely on local agents for assistance with the online payment,” said the embassy’s press counsellor, Sayed Khizar Ali, in a statement to Arab News.

“Our commitment to a transparent, fair, and accessible visa system for our Afghan brothers remains unwavering.”
