Asia business travel guides from Pakistan

Asia has no shared visa, and the routes differ widely. Some countries, such as Malaysia, Thailand and Indonesia, take online applications that Pakistani travellers can make themselves, and Azerbaijan runs an official e-visa portal where Pakistani eligibility should be confirmed first. Others, such as Singapore and Hong Kong, need a local company or contact to start the process, and Kazakhstan’s e-visa needs an approved invitation from the host. Japan, South Korea and Uzbekistan still need embassy applications with invitation documents from the host.

That makes the host company central to many Asian trips. Tell your partners early what they must send, whether a Letter of Guarantee for Japan, a notarised invitation for Korea or an approved invitation number for Kazakhstan.

Flights are shorter than to Europe or the Americas: three to five hours to Central Asia and the Gulf-adjacent routes, six to nine hours to South-East Asia, and eleven to fourteen hours to Japan and Korea with a stop.

Go Global has handled 100,000+ trips, including buyer visits, fair delegations and factory trips across Asia. We work with your host on the visa documents, then plan flights, hotels and ground transport, and our team works 24/7 for travellers already on the road.
