Does any body has actual experience of entering Pakistan on NICOP with a foreign passport.
My son is five years old, has NICOP and foreign passport , I have seen some consulates list NICOP as a visa free instrument but NADRA web site does not show VISA free entry as NICOP benefit in the main page as they do for POC.
Please share your experience if you or your family travelled on NICOP only.

I have NICOP card for last 4 years. I have used this card for visa free entree on a foreign passport without any problem. In the back of card it states that this person is entitle for visa free entry to Pakistan. NICOP is good for 10 years and 5 years for POC.
If your son has NICOP card, check on the back side, it states visa free entry.
I got my card more than 4 years ago, if any thing has changed since, than I am not aware. |

NICOP (National Identity Card for Overseas Pakistanis) is a registration document to be issued to a valid/legitimate citizen of Pakistan. Previously it was issued to overseas Pakistanis working/living/staying/studying abroad for consecutive time period of six months or possessing dual nationalities but now it can be issued to any citizen of Pakistan
