Visa-free Travel Route on a Pakistani Passport

Bahrain issues e-visas. There are several ISB-BAH flights, several LHE-BAH flights and one KHI-BAH flight, each day.

I think those are the only direct flights to such a country.

For flights with a connection:

UAE allows airside transit without a visa, even for Pakistani citizens. Since Dubai (and Abu Dhabi) are major international hubs, this opens up a number of travel possibilities. If you have a long layover, it is even possible to get a (landside) transit visa as part of a hotel package. Emirates or Etihad must help you book this.

From Dubai you can connect to a flight to Bahrain (e-visa), Malé, Maldives (visa on arrival), Djibouti (visa on arrival), Nairobi, Kenya (e-visa), Yangon, Myanmar (e-visa), Kathmandu, Nepal (visa on arrival), Mahe Island, Seychelles (visa on arrival), Entebbe, Uganda (visa on arrival), and Lusaka, Zambia (e-visa). These flights are mostly on Emirates and its partner airlines.

Going through Abu Dhabi offers an additional destination, Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania (visa on arrival) in addition to Bahrain, Kenya, Nepal, and Seychelles. These flights are mostly on Etihad and its partner airlines.

Another possibility is to transit via China, which will allow you to transit and even leave the airport during your layover if necessary. A trip to Jeju Island is possible if you transit via PEK. That routing, on PIA and KAL airlines, is LHE-PEK-CJU, and only a few rupees more than the cheapest flights that have more stops. This avoids itineraries that pass through Seoul and any possible delays or confusion at immigration there.

With two flight connections it may be possible to reach the various Caribbean islands which allow visa-free or visa on arrival entry to Pakistani nationals, but I wasn’t able to find a suitable transit airport from a quick search. That doesn’t mean one doesn’t exist, though. Such a trip would be easy with a transit visa from the USA, which may be easier to obtain than a tourist visa. The US generally issues multiple entry visas good for up to five years (for both tourism/business and transit) to Pakistani nationals, so you can obtain this well in advance of any holiday which might require it.
