As the deadline for Pakistani citizens on visas to leave the country ended on Sunday (April 27, 2025) — excluding those on medical visas, diplomatic, and long-term visas — a senior Home Ministry official said that almost all have left the country even as further verification was on.
The decision to revoke visas given to Pakistani citizens was taken in the aftermath of the Pahalgam terror attack in which 26 people were killed by terrorists.
Police officials in various States and Union Territories told The Hindu that they have not received any directive from the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) to extend the deadline. Another government official said that exemption may be granted on grounds of extreme compassion in some cases.
