The United States is set to impose new visa restrictions on Pakistani passport holders as part of a broader immigration policy overhaul. Reports indicate that the U.S. will limit the issuance of two specific types of visas, though official details have yet to be disclosed.
Under the proposed policy, Pakistani applicants will face stricter requirements, including mandatory in-person interviews. While some categories of travelers, such as business professionals, may still be eligible, the restrictions will significantly impact those seeking entry for other purposes.

The plan is part of a classification system that places countries under different levels of scrutiny. Pakistan has reportedly been categorized in a tier where visa approvals will be more selective. The new framework aims to tighten security measures and regulate entry for travelers from multiple nations.
This development follows an executive order directing U.S. authorities to reassess visa policies for various countries. While no official announcement has been made regarding when these restrictions will take effect, Pakistani travelers may soon face additional hurdles when applying for U.S. visas.
Authorities in Pakistan are expected to seek clarifications on the new policy, as the changes could affect a large number of applicants.
