ISLAMABAD: Defence Minister Khawaja Muhammad Asif has rejected reports that former Prime Minister Imran Khan’s sons, Suleman Khan and Qasim Khan, need visas to enter Pakistan.
In a statement on X, Asif said both Suleman and Qasim have valid National Identity Cards for Overseas Pakistanis (NICOPs), which allow them to travel to Pakistan without a visa.
He said claims that the government was refusing to issue visas to Imran Khan’s sons were incorrect. According to the minister, Suleman last travelled to Pakistan in 2022 using his NICOP, which remains valid until January 6, 2030.

Qasim’s NICOP is valid until November 8, 2032. Asif said both cards are currently active, allowing the two brothers to travel to Pakistan without visas.
