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"

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.

"Kenya doesn't require yellow fever certificate anymore"

Reality: Transit passengers staying less than 12 hours are exempt. All tourists entering Kenya from countries with yellow fever risk (including Pakistan) must show vaccination certificates.

"Turkey eVisa available to all Pakistanis"

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"

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.
