Pakistan eSIM for visitors and overseas Pakistanis

Coming home for a wedding, Eid or a few weeks with family? Install a Pakistan eSIM before you fly and you are online the moment you land — no SIM queue, no CNIC, no registering your phone.

Updated · FirstSIM

Why visitors use an eSIM

A local SIM means a shop, biometric verification, and a phone that stops working on it once its unregistered period is up. A Pakistan eSIM is bought online and installed at home; in Pakistan it connects to Jazz as a roaming data line, so your phone does not need to be PTA-registered.

Before you fly

  1. Check your phone supports eSIM and is not locked to your home carrier.
  2. Pick a Pakistan eSIM plan — from Rs 399 — and pay with Easypaisa or JazzCash. Family in Pakistan can pay and send you the order link.
  3. Install it on Wi-Fi at home. The plan's days only start when it first connects in Pakistan.
  4. On landing: switch the eSIM line on for mobile data and turn Data Roaming on for it.

Keep your own number

Your home SIM can stay in the phone for calls and texts (watch your home network's roaming charges), while the eSIM carries the data. WhatsApp keeps your own number throughout.

Staying longer?

Top up the same eSIM as often as you like, or turn on auto top-up so it renews at 20% data left or on the last day — no new QR code. Unlimited plans are priced by the day, so you pay for exactly the days you are here.

Good to know

  • It is data only — no Pakistani number, calls or SMS.
  • Traffic exits through the UK, so a few Pakistani sites may show a foreign version.
  • Hotspot, speed and coverage are as Jazz gives them where you are.
