Islamabad, April 26, 2025 – The Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) has officially announced a major facilitation measure for overseas Pakistanis and foreign nationals visiting the country by allowing temporary mobile registration for up to 120 days.
According to the PTA’s latest notification, travelers entering Pakistan can now avail themselves of this registration facility for their personal mobile devices during each visit. The temporary registration will ensure visitors have uninterrupted access to mobile networks throughout their stay, enhancing their communication experience without the hassle of lengthy formalities.
This initiative by PTA aims to address the connectivity needs of a growing number of overseas Pakistanis and international travelers. The entire process is streamlined through a user-friendly, digitized system, allowing individuals to complete the registration online via the official Device Registration System portal. Importantly, this registration service is offered free of cost, making it accessible and convenient for all visitors.
By introducing this visitor-centric service, the PTA reinforces its commitment to providing efficient, inclusive, and innovative digital solutions. The authority emphasized that its goal is to uphold the highest standards of service excellence while ensuring seamless connectivity and reliable communication options for short-term visitors.
The 120-day registration validity allows ample time for most tourists, business travelers, and returning expatriates to stay connected without interruption. Moreover, since the registration facility can be used for each new visit, frequent travelers to Pakistan will also benefit greatly.
This move reflects PTA’s proactive approach towards enhancing the overall digital experience in Pakistan and aligns with international best practices in telecommunications. It not only simplifies the process for visitors but also strengthens Pakistan’s image as a digitally progressive and visitor-friendly country.
The PTA continues to work on initiatives that ensure technology serves as an enabler for convenience and connectivity, ensuring that every mobile user, whether resident or visitor, enjoys reliable and hassle-free communication services during their time in Pakistan.
