Any Pakistani national who wishes to travel outside Pakistan without needing visas for entry can apply for Smart NICOP to any destination of their choosing, without visa restrictions if applicable. Passport numbers are necessary when seeking this document if newborn babies were born elsewhere in another country.
NADRA provides two fee structures for Smart NICOP services, which vary according to regional location; Oman and Qatar, which house thousands of Pakistanis, fall within Zone B.
