🚫False Claims Currently Circulating
"Brazil now offers visa on arrival for Pakistanis"
❌ FALSE
Reality: Brazil requires Pakistani citizens to apply for a visa through the embassy in Islamabad. The e-visa waiver program announced in 2024 only applies to nationals of countries with visa reciprocity agreements — Pakistan is not on that list.
"Jordan removed bank statement requirement"
❌ FALSE
Reality: Jordan embassy in Islamabad still requires bank statements stamped within 7 days of application. No policy change has been announced.
"Cuba tourist card available online for Pakistanis"
❌ FALSE
Reality: Pakistan has no Cuban embassy. Tourist cards must be obtained through the Beijing embassy or licensed agents. There is no online portal for Pakistani applicants.
📖 Actual Process
"Kenya doesn't require yellow fever certificate anymore"
⚡ PARTIAL

"Turkey eVisa available to all Pakistanis"
❌ FALSE
Reality: Turkish eVisa for Pakistani passport holders requires a valid visa or residence permit from US, UK, Ireland, or Schengen countries. Without one of these, you must apply through the Turkish embassy.

"Agents can guarantee visa approval"
❌ FALSE
Reality: No agent, tour operator, or consultant can guarantee a visa. The decision is made by embassy officers based on your application. Anyone claiming "guaranteed approval" is misleading you.
