US consulates in Lahore, Karachi set to resume consular services from July 20

The US consulates in Lahore and Karachi will resume consular services on July 20, 2026, after suspending operations in March 2025 due to violent protests linked to the US-Israel war with Iran. The resumption follows security measures and the relocation of non-emergency staff, with the Peshawar consulate having closed earlier in May 2025.
