Visa Conditions Eased for Elderly Sikhs Intending to Visit Pakistan for Family Pilgrimage: Sarna

Read Time:1 Minute, 4 Second

In a significant development, visa requirements for Sikh pilgrims aged 65 and above have been relaxed, allowing for family visas at the request of the SGPC and the Shiromani Akali Dal, as announced by Delhi Akali chief Paramjit Singh Sarna.

This announcement follows a meeting Sarna held with top diplomats at the Pakistan High Commission in New Delhi.

Sarna also discussed the possibility of a visa-on-arrival facility for Sikh pilgrims traveling to Sri Nankana Sahib from India.

“As a precursor to our request for visas on arrival, the Pakistani government has eased visa restrictions for pilgrim families led by senior citizens,” Sarna said. “This is joyous news for our community. Elderly individuals over 65 can now submit their documents at the Pakistan High Commission at any time and visit Sikh holy sites with their families. Previously, such visits were limited to four times a year with organized groups. This change will greatly benefit our elderly Sikhs.”

He encouraged those eligible to submit their passports to the Shiromani Akali Dal’s Delhi unit office at Gurdwara Rakab Ganj Sahib for full assistance with their travel plans.

The SGPC and the Shiromani Akali Dal’s Delhi office will serve as the platforms to avail the family visa facility from the Pakistan High Commission.
