The Pakistan Visa Requirements For U.S. Citizens
With my American passport, I'm no stranger to visa red tape and bureaucratic hell. I had to go through it for North Korea, for Iran, for Myanmar, and lately, for Pakistan. But what was supposed to be a routine and well paved out path to acquire a visa for my...
