Travelers from Brazil require a visa to enter Pakistan. Most visitors can apply for an e-visa through the official government portal. You will need a valid passport, a digital photograph, and proof of your Pakistan visa flight booking or an invitation letter. The process is generally straightforward, but it is wise to apply at least two weeks before your intended departure. Brazil and Pakistan have different administrative systems, so ensure all your documents are translated if necessary. Once your e-visa is approved, print a copy to present at immigration upon arrival. This digital system has made visiting much easier for international tourists compared to previous years. Always double-check current entry rules as they can change based on bilateral agreements between the two nations.

Navigating Pakistan involves a mix of modern and traditional transport. In major cities like Karachi or Lahore, ride-sharing apps are the most reliable and transparent way to travel. For long-distance journeys, the luxury bus networks are surprisingly comfortable and efficient, often outperforming the rail system in terms of punctuality. While Brazil has extensive domestic flight networks, Pakistan relies heavily on these high-quality road links between northern and southern regions. For a local experience, try a colorful rickshaw for short distances, but always agree on the fare beforehand. If you are heading to the mountainous north, hiring a private 4x4 with a driver is the safest way to navigate steep terrain. Domestic flights are also available for covering long distances quickly between major hubs like Islamabad and Gilgit.

Pakistan is a deeply hospitable country with strong Islamic traditions. Dress modestly in public; for men, this means avoiding shorts, and for women, loose-fitting clothes that cover shoulders and legs are recommended. It is common for locals to invite travelers for tea, which is a genuine gesture of welcome. Unlike the more informal social culture in Brazil, it is polite to use formal titles when meeting elders. Always ask for permission before taking photos of people, especially women. When entering a home or a mosque, remember to remove your shoes. During the holy month of Ramadan, avoid eating or drinking in public during daylight hours out of respect for those fasting. Learning a few basic Urdu phrases like 'Assalam-o-Alaikum' will go a long way in building rapport with the friendly locals.

Pakistani food is rich, spicy, and incredibly diverse. While Brazil is famous for its churrasco, Pakistan excels in slow-cooked meat dishes like Nihari and various types of Karahi. Street food is a major part of the culture, but travelers should stick to busy stalls where food is cooked fresh at high temperatures. Always drink bottled or filtered water to avoid stomach issues. Chai is the national drink and is served everywhere from roadside stalls to high-end hotels. For a local tip, visit the Food Street in Lahore at night for an atmospheric dining experience with views of the Badshahi Mosque. To get the best photos and memories, head to the Margalla Hills in Islamabad at sunset to see the city lights while enjoying traditional barbecue. TICKETS.COM.BR recommends trying the local seasonal fruits, which are among the best in the world.
