The wait for citizens to obtain travel documents has been a thing of the past in Pakistan. The Directorate General of Immigration & Passports (DGI&P) has now made its most streamlined service to date – the Executive Fast Track Service. It is a high-end service to serve those who are facing emergency travel requirements and ensure a passport within 48 hours (Two working days only).
What is the Executive Fast Track Service?
The Executive Fast Track is the highest tier of passport processing in Pakistan. While “Ordinary” (21 days) or “Urgent” (5-7 days), the application is given a stronger priority at the data entry and biometric verification, printing and regional delivery stage in the Fast Track service.
As of 2026, the coverage of this service has grown to more than 47 cities in Pakistan including Executive Passport Offices (EPOs) in big cities such as Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad, Quetta, and Peshawar.
