VERIFIED PRACTICAL GUIDE

What the two services price

Tasheer publishes one charge per line and two ways of buying the appointment. A Normal appointment carries the visa, application or medical charge, the Tasheer service fee and the sales tax on that service fee. A Lounge appointment carries all of it and adds the Lounge Service Fee with its own sales tax, so the difference between the two totals is that fee and its tax and nothing else.

What the totals do not include

The schedule covers the Tasheer side of the application. An examination or vaccination charge where a category requires one, an attestation, travel to the centre and any service the applicant buys elsewhere are separate unless a checkout or a written confirmation says otherwise. The insurance collected with the visa platform fee also varies with the applicant, and Tasheer says the final cost appears only after submission.

Before paying

Check the visa category first, because it decides which lines apply, and check which centre the booking offers, because the fee is collected there. Confirm the total on the review screen of the official booking flow, pay only by the methods Tasheer lists, keep the official receipt, and never send money to an unverified personal account.

Tasheer fee schedule for Pakistan

These are the charges the official Tasheer fee page publishes for a Saudi visa application submitted in Pakistan, shown for the two appointment services an applicant chooses between — Normal and Lounge. Figures are in PKR. The Work Normal office charge of Rs. 1,530 follows BookAppointment.pk current booking guidance; other line items retain the published reference schedule. Confirm the payable amount with Tasheer. Reference checked October 2026. A fee can be revised with the exchange rate or with a communication from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and a revised amount is collected at the centre on the appointment date, so the total shown in the official booking flow is the amount payable on the day.

A Lounge appointment for this category adds PKR 3,334.50 to the Normal total. Lounge changes the service inside the centre; it does not change the visa decision or the processing time.

What the Lounge total adds

The two cards in each category price the same application under two services rather than two visa types. The Normal card carries the visa, application or medical charge, the Tasheer service fee and the sales tax on that service fee. The Lounge card carries all of it and then adds the Lounge Service Fee with its own sales tax. The premium is therefore a fixed amount per category rather than a percentage, and it is the same on a Family Visit and a Resident application:

  • Family Visit visa: PKR 12,546.50 more than the Normal total.
  • Resident (Iqama) visa: PKR 12,546.50 more than the Normal total.
  • Work visa: PKR 3,334.50 more than the Normal total.

Work Normal uses the current Rs. 1,530 office-charge guidance supplied by BookAppointment.pk. Its Lounge card retains the reference service and tax breakdown. Confirm the selected service and current total with Tasheer.

Miscellaneous charges

The official fee page also prices the optional services a centre can provide. None of them is required to submit an application, and each is charged only when the applicant asks for it at the centre. The sales tax shown is the tax on that service, so these amounts are alternatives rather than parts of one total.

ServiceCharges (PKR)
Photocopy40.00
Sales Tax for Photocopy6.00
Form Print Out100.00
Sales Tax for Form Print Out15.00
SMS Fee260.00
Sales Tax for SMS Fee39.00
Photograph1,110.00
Sales Tax for Photograph166.50
Courier Fee1,310.00
Sales Tax for Courier Fee196.50

An applicant who needs none of them pays none of them, and a charge already taken for an optional service is not refunded. Ask at the centre before the service is provided if the amount matters, because the centre applies the published rate.

Mode of payment

The official Tasheer fee page lists two ways of paying at the centre. Neither is an online transfer to a personal account, and an amount paid outside them is not a Tasheer payment.

  • Bank Deposit
  • Cash

Carry the fee in the form the centre accepts and keep the official receipt. Any BookAppointment.pk assistance charge for preparing a request is separate, is shown in the request form on this site before it is submitted, and is never collected as a Tasheer fee.
