The US Embassy in Pakistan has launched a new online visa appointment system, effective from February 8, 2025. To ensure a smooth transition, the embassy has issued important guidelines for applicants.

As per the US Consulate General in Karachi, visa applicants must first create a profile in the new system before booking their appointment. Those who have already paid the visa fee or scheduled an appointment under the old system should register using the same email ID to ensure their details are seamlessly transferred.

For applicants who paid their visa fee before February 3, 2025, the embassy advises entering their payment date and receipt number while setting up their new profile.

To assist with the transition, the embassy has assured applicants that they can seek help via email or phone if they have any questions about the updated process.
