Local governments in some areas experiencing higher COVID-19 activity may implement localized enhanced curbs, such as shortened operating hours and lowered capacity limits for public facilities and vehicles. Locals may protest measures affecting business activity, religious services, and public movement, particularly in urban centers. Clashes between demonstrators and police are possible.

Violators of ongoing restrictions may be subject to fines and arrest. Reports indicate generally poor adherence to and enforcement of guidelines nationwide.

Inbound passengers must submit a health declaration form online or via the Pass Track mobile application within 48 hours before arrival. Incoming non-Pakistani citizens must hold proof of completing vaccination if above 18 years old. Individuals who are over 12 years old and are not fully vaccinated must present a negative result from a PCR test taken within 72 hours before the flights. Deportees must undergo a rapid antigen test on arrival; travelers who return a positive result from the test must quarantine at their residence for 10 days.

Passengers aged above 15 years old require vaccination certificates to board domestic or outbound international flights. The rule does not apply to the medically exempted, foreigners taking outbound international flights, transit passengers, or Afghan citizens exiting via land borders. Foreigners aged below 18 years old, and returnees who exited Pakistan before October 2021, also do not require a vaccination certificate for domestic flights.

Most land border crossings with India and Iran remain closed, except for limited cargo transport, permitted passenger travel, and repatriation. Authorities allow most border crossings with Afghanistan to operate, though Pakistani officials may require Afghan nationals above the age of 12 permitted who enter through land borders to produce a negative result from a COVID-19 PCR test taken
