St Vincent & the Grenadines visas, from Pakistan.

Pakistani nationals need no visa in advance — an Immigration Officer grants a visitor's permit of up to three months on arrival. It covers tourism, family visits, medical treatment and business meetings such as conferences, supplier negotiations and site inspections, but never employment or study.

• Passport valid at least six months beyond the date of arrival
• Confirmed return or onward ticket
• Hotel booking, or a host's letter with their address in St Vincent
• Bank statements for the last three to six months showing funds for the stay
• Valid transit visa for the UK, US, Canadian or Schengen airport you connect through (Barbados and Trinidad need none)

Extends the permit granted on arrival for a longer holiday, an extended family visit, convalescence or ongoing medical treatment. Applied for in person at the Immigration Head Office in Kingstown, or at the Bequia, Mustique, Canouan or Union Island port offices.

• Application filed before the current permit expires
• Passport showing the original entry stamp and permitted date
• Written reason for the extension — a doctor's or hospital letter, or a host's letter
• Bank statement showing funds for the extended period
• Proof of accommodation and an onward or return ticket

St Vincent issues no student visa from abroad. Pakistani students at Trinity Medical Sciences University, Saint James School of Medicine or the SVG Community College enter visa-free and the institution regularises their status with Immigration in Kingstown through an extension of stay endorsed for study, renewed each term or academic year.

• Acceptance or enrolment letter from the St Vincent institution
• Receipt showing tuition paid and bank statements covering living costs
• FSc/BSc transcripts and degree certificates attested by IBCC or HEC
• Passport valid for at least the first year of the programme
• Medical insurance valid in St Vincent and the Grenadines

The only lawful route to employment for a non-national. Your Vincentian employer applies to the Ministry of National Security in Kingstown for permission to employ you; the permit is tied to that job, that employer and a fixed period, and must be renewed. You cannot lodge the application yourself.

• Signed job offer or contract from an employer registered in St Vincent
• Employer's written justification that no suitably qualified Vincentian or CARICOM national is available
• HEC-attested degrees, professional registration and experience letters
• Police Character Certificate from Pakistan, and a medical report
• Passport bio-page copy and two recent passport photographs

For Pakistanis setting up a business in tourism, yachting services, retail, agri-processing or IT. St Vincent has no investor visa and no citizenship-by-investment programme — you incorporate a company, usually with Invest SVG's facilitation, and hold a work permit as its director or self-employed operator.

• Business plan with bank statements proving the investment funds and their source
• Certificate of incorporation from the SVG Commerce and Intellectual Property Office
• Alien Land Holding Licence if you are acquiring land or property
• Named list of Vincentian jobs created, with National Insurance Services registration
• Police Character Certificate from Pakistan

Discretionary residence status granted through the Ministry of National Security, normally after several years of continuous lawful residence on renewed work permits. There is no published qualifying period and no entitlement — it ends the need to re-apply for a job-specific permit each time you change employer.

• Passport stamps and expired permits evidencing continuous lawful residence
• Police certificates from the Royal St Vincent and the Grenadines Police Force and from Pakistan
• Bank statements, audited business accounts or a property deed showing income and ties
• Two written character references from Vincentian citizens
• Medical certificate from a registered practitioner in St Vincent

St Vincent issues no separate dependant visa. A spouse and children under 18 enter visa-free and remain on extensions of stay renewed in step with the main work permit. A dependent spouse cannot take any paid work without obtaining a work permit in their own right.

• NADRA marriage registration certificate and children's birth certificates (Form B), attested and apostilled by Pakistan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs
• Copy of the sponsor's work permit and employment contract
• Sponsor's payslips or bank statements showing they can maintain the family
• Tenancy agreement or landlord's letter for accommodation in St Vincent
• School acceptance letters for accompanying children

The foreign spouse of a citizen of St Vincent and the Grenadines may be granted permission to reside and, in time, apply to be registered as a citizen. Registration is not automatic on marriage — the marriage must be genuine and subsisting and residence on the island is expected.

• Marriage certificate registered with the SVG Registry, or a NADRA certificate attested and apostilled if you married in Pakistan
• Spouse's Vincentian passport, birth certificate or citizenship certificate
• Joint tenancy agreement, utility bills and photographs evidencing life together
• Police character certificates from Pakistan and the Royal St Vincent and the Grenadines Police Force
• Sworn application lodged with the Ministry of National Security in Kingstown
