- Holders of invalid, expired NICOPs barred from boarding flights to Pakistan: official
Pakistanis residing abroad with invalid, expired, or cancelled National Identity Cards for Overseas Pakistanis (NICOPs) are now barred from boarding flights to Pakistan. Airlines must verify NICOP validity before boarding, and passengers with expired NICOPs require a valid Pakistani visa to travel. The Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) will monitor compliance, while concerns arise about the lack of expedited renewal services for affected travelers.
