Pak to issue five-year visas to Americans

Islamabad: Pakistan has decided to issue five-year, multiple-entry visas to US nationals, even though the American government has changed its policy of issuing five-year visas to Pakistanis, the media reported on Monday.
The US had long demanded this change in Pakistan’s visa policy and recently changed its own policy when Islamabad did not respond.
The Americans used to issue five-year, multiple-entry tourist and visit visas to Pakistani nationals. In some cases, professionals, such as journalists, were also issued five-year multiple visas.
In return, the Americans demanded similar facilities for their nationals. (IANS)
