The Embassy of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan in Afghanistan expresses its deep grief and sadness over the reports of loss of Afghan lives and injuring of people in a stampede at a stadium in Jalalabad, five (5) Km away from Pakistan Consulate in Jalalabad, where applicants for Pakistani visa were being gathered and organized by the provincial Afghan authorities. We sympathize with the families of those who have lost their lives and those who have been injured in this unfortunate incident.
We would like to emphasize again that in view of brotherly relations between Pakistan and Afghanistan, Pakistan Embassy in Kabul and our Consulates in Jalalabad, Kandahar, Herat and Mazar-e-Sharif continue to issue multiple entry visas to the Afghan applicants for their visits to Pakistan for family, business, medical treatment, education and other purposes.
Pakistan has recently announced its new visa policy for enhanced facilitation to Afghan nationals for long term multiple entry visas which is being implemented by the Embassy and Consulates in Afghanistan.
The Embassy remains committed to ensure smooth and effective management of visa applicants at our end.
We seek the understanding and cooperation of Afghan people and authorities for better and secure management of the Afghan visa applicants.
