⚠️ Important Notes
Tonga grants Pakistani passport holders a visitor permit on arrival valid for up to 31 days at no cost. However, you must have a confirmed return or onward ticket and proof of sufficient funds. Transit through Fiji or New Zealand is common; check visa requirements for those countries before booking your travel. Tonga is a remote Pacific island nation with limited flights, so plan your itinerary well in advance. Sunday is strictly observed as a day of rest in Tonga, and many businesses and services are closed.
