A pilgrim visa is given to a group of pilgrims (more than 10) visiting religious sites in India.

Since a pilgrim visa is given to a group, you cannot travel separately from the group. The group is expected to travel as per the predetermined itinerary. At no point, is any member of the group permitted to leave the group and travel alone.

Documents which need to be attached for individual applicants of the pilgrim group are:

1) Copy of NADRA Card along with its English translation and the translated copy should be notarized.

2) Copy of any utility bill, such as electricity bill/ gas bill/ landline telephone bill (any one as address proof) 

3) Valid Polio Vaccination Certificate.

In addition to this, the group leader’s case should have the following additional documents:

a) Letter of invitation for all the members of the group, attached as a list from the organisers in India clearly mentioning the name, address and contact numbers of the inviting organisation clearly mentioning the pre-determined itinerary

b) Any two of these documents of the Indian invitee: passport (preferred), copy of electricity bill, telephone bill, ration card, voter identity card, clearly mentioning the address and contact numbers
