Message from the High Commissioner
Welcome to our website!
The United Kingdom and Pakistan are close and historic allies and friends. With around 1 million British citizens claiming Pakistani heritage, US$2bn worth of trade flowing between our two countries each year, and almost 10,000 Pakistanis studying in the UK, there is much that unites us.
On this site you will find details of our services, including visa application forms (which you can print off) together with the current charges, and a page on which you can register with our Consular Section if you are a British National currently in Pakistan. You will also find out more about events and read the latest news about the work of the British Government in Pakistan.
Do let us know what you think about the site - you can send in your comments to bhcmedia@dsl.net.pk.
