To date, no one has been successful in obtaining a Pakistani visa through the online portal. How Afghans can obtain a Pakistani visa is by consulting a travel agency or "commission worker," who is often an associate of the Pakistani government operating surreptitiously. They usually charge between 800 USD and 1,000 USD per person to obtain a visa that is supposed to be free of charge. In fact, citizens of the U.S., Canada, the U.K., any of the Schengen Area countries, Australia, and New Zealand who were born in Afghanistan are denied visas or entry for ambiguous reasons.
