U.S. Mission to Pakistan
The U.S. Mission to Pakistan informs U.S. citizens that after December 31, 2015, there will be no more extra visa pages added to U.S. passports. Instead, as of October 2014, 52-page passport books are being issued to all applicants applying at overseas posts at no extra cost. This policy aims to lessen the burden that may be placed on frequent travelers who need more pages and those customers who may need to update residence permits or foreign entry/exit visas to comply with foreign country immigration practices.
Renew your passport early to make sure you have enough blank pages for visa stamps from other countries. Some require two blank pages for entry and exit. See the Country Specific Information for Pakistan for more information on entry, exit, and visa requirements for travel to Pakistan.
