KARACHI:<\/strong> The Airport Health Department has announced that international passengers will not be allowed to travel without a valid NADRA vaccination certificate<\/strong> from September 14.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to an official notification, Umrah pilgrims have been instructed to obtain their NADRA vaccination cards before departing for Saudi Arabia. The requirement is aimed at ensuring that travellers meet the necessary health and vaccination conditions before leaving Pakistan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The notification stated that the Federal Government Civil Dispensary<\/strong> has been designated as the only authorized centre for vaccination of international travellers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Airlines have also been directed to ensure that Umrah pilgrims possess and present their required vaccination certificates before boarding. Airlines will be responsible for verifying the vaccination documentation of passengers travelling for Umrah.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new requirement means that passengers planning international travel should complete the vaccination process and obtain their NADRA vaccination certificate before reaching the airport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the Airport Health Department, passengers who intend to receive vaccination at the airport must arrive at least six hours before their scheduled flight<\/strong>. Vaccination and online registration will be carried out at the international departure area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The authorities have advised travellers not to wait until the last moment to complete their vaccination requirements, particularly Umrah pilgrims who may face difficulties if their documentation is incomplete at the time of departure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The requirement for a NADRA vaccination certificate is part of health-screening arrangements for international travellers. The certificate provides official digital documentation of a passenger\u2019s vaccination status and allows airlines and airport health authorities to verify compliance with applicable requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Umrah pilgrims have been specifically advised to obtain their NADRA vaccination cards before departure. This is intended to prevent delays at the airport and ensure that passengers can complete the boarding process smoothly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Airport Health Department has also placed responsibility on airlines to verify the vaccination certificates of Umrah passengers. Travellers may therefore be required to present their documentation during the airline\u2019s check-in or boarding process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Passengers who need vaccination services have been directed to the Federal Government Civil Dispensary, which has been identified as the authorized vaccination facility for international travellers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Those planning to receive vaccination at the airport should allow sufficient time before departure. The department has specifically instructed such passengers to arrive six hours before their flight because the process includes both vaccination and online registration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The six-hour arrival recommendation is particularly important for travellers with early or busy international flights. Arriving late could leave insufficient time to complete the vaccination and registration procedures before boarding closes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The authorities have urged international travellers, especially Umrah pilgrims, to prepare their documentation in advance. Obtaining the required vaccination certificate before the date of travel can help passengers avoid unnecessary delays or possible travel restrictions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new policy will take effect from September 14<\/strong>, making the NADRA vaccination certificate an important requirement for international travel under the announced arrangements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Airlines will play a key role in implementing the requirement by checking vaccination certificates before allowing eligible passengers to proceed with their journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Airport Health Department has also emphasized the importance of online registration as part of the vaccination process. Passengers receiving vaccination at the international departure area will undergo the required registration procedures in addition to vaccination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The measure is expected to particularly affect Umrah travellers, who are being advised to make the necessary arrangements well before their departure date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Travellers should also remain aware that vaccination requirements can vary depending on their destination and the applicable health regulations. They are therefore advised to ensure that they meet all relevant requirements before travelling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For passengers departing from Karachi, the announcement means that those who have not completed the required vaccination and documentation process may face difficulties at the airport after September 14.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The authorities have urged airlines and airport health officials to ensure strict implementation of the new requirements while facilitating passengers who have completed the necessary procedures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the deadline approaching, Umrah pilgrims and other international travellers are advised to obtain their NADRA vaccination certificates in advance and keep the documentation readily available during check-in and boarding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Airport Health Department’s instructions are aimed at ensuring that international passengers meet the required health standards before departure and that vaccination records can be verified through the designated system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From September 14 onward, passengers should therefore make vaccination documentation a key part of their international travel preparations. Those receiving vaccination at the airport must arrive six hours before departure to complete vaccination and online registration formalities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The authorities have reiterated that the Federal Government Civil Dispensary is the designated vaccination centre for international travellers and that airlines must verify the vaccination certificates of Umrah pilgrims before allowing them to travel.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
