  • We’re still the third worst in the world, such a misleading title and most of the countries listed under Visa on arrival require an e-visa prior to travelling.

  • this can be easily improved if the will is their in the goverment. Countries such as Oman and UAE can easily grant visa on arrival if diplomatically handled well

  • I recently traveled Qatar and yes the visa was on arrival. Not sure about Malaysia and others.

    • but they are saying People holding the Pakistani passport are allowed Visa-free entry in QATAR that cant be true…..
