This is the first major update to travel advice since 2015.
The United Kingdom has altered its travel advice to replicate the improved security state in Pakistan.
This announcement is the result of an in-depth review of UK travel advice for Pakistan, based on a comprehensive assessment of the country’s security situation. This is the first major update to travel advice since 2015.
Improved security allowed British Airways to return to Pakistan in June 2019 and the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge visited in October 2019.
Among other changes, the boards now allow for road travel to northern Pakistan as well as the Kalesh and Bamboret valleys.
Dr Christian Turner, British High Commissioner to Pakistan, said:
Following my arrival in December 2019, I made this review of travel tips a priority. Credit should be paid to the hard work of the Government of Pakistan in improving security over the past five years. I am delighted that British nationals can see more of what Pakistan has to offer.
