Understanding the U.S. B1/B2 Visa
The U.S. B1/B2 visa allows Pakistani citizens to travel for business meetings, tourism, family visits, and medical treatment. Most applicants receive a combined B1/B2 visa that covers both purposes.
- B1 Visa: For business activities — meetings, conferences, negotiations.
- B2 Visa: For tourism, leisure, visiting family or friends, and medical care.
What you need to know
- The U.S. B1/B2 visa lets you travel for tourism, business meetings, family visits, and medical treatments.
- The visa is generally valid for up to 5 years for Pakistani applicants.
- Each visit allows you to stay in the U.S. for up to 6 months at a time.
- It is a non-immigrant visa — meaning it’s temporary and doesn’t grant you permanent residence.
Not sure if this visa is right for you?
Answer a few simple questions and our experts will guide you to the right visa type!
Who can apply for the U.S. B1/B2 Visa?
Pakistani citizens who wish to visit the United States temporarily for business, tourism, medical treatment, or family visits are eligible to apply for the B1/B2 Visitor Visa.
You must show strong ties to Pakistan — such as a stable job, business, property ownership, or close family relationships — to prove your intention to return after your trip.
Who doesn’t need to apply?
You do not need a B1/B2 visa if:
- You already hold a valid U.S. visa (such as a student or work visa).
- You are a U.S. citizen or Green Card holder (lawful permanent resident).
- You have dual nationality and already possess U.S. nationality.
Traveling to the U.S. with Children or Family?
Each traveler — including infants and children — must apply separately for a B1/B2 visa.
However, families can schedule group appointments to attend the U.S. Embassy together, making the process simpler for parents and guardians.
How long is the U.S. B1/B2 Visa valid?
The U.S. B1/B2 Visa issued to Pakistani citizens is typically valid for up to 5 years, allowing multiple entries during this period.
Each visit usually allows you to stay for up to 6 months. However, the exact length of stay is determined by the U.S. Customs Officer at the port of entry.
