The instructions have been communicated to all zonal directors, who have been directed to immediately inform relevant airlines and ensure full compliance.
The decision will take effect immediately and applies to all passengers travelling to Pakistan from foreign countries.
Authorities advised overseas Pakistanis to ensure that their NICOP status is valid before planning their travel to avoid inconvenience at airports.
