The National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA) has launched the Smart National Identity Card for Overseas Pakistanis (SNICOP) for Pakistani citizens living abroad.
This card allows any Pakistani citizen to apply for it from their country of residence and travel to Pakistan without needing a visa, provided they hold dual nationality. A valid passport number is required to obtain the Smart NICOP.
NADRA offers two fee structures for the Smart NICOP based on the applicant's region. Bahrain, home to a large number of Pakistanis, falls under Zone B.
