U.S. citizens living or traveling in Pakistan now have a new way to receive official consular alerts and updates. The U.S. Mission to Pakistan has launched a dedicated WhatsApp channel, called “U.S. Citizen Consular Info: PAKISTAN,” which brings embassy and consulate information together on one platform.
The initiative aims to make it easier for U.S. citizens in Pakistan to stay informed about important consular information. Citizens are encouraged to join the channel by visiting https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029Vb6Gt26CXC3LBhJsjn0y and to share the link with other Americans in the country.
The embassy also suggests that friends and family of U.S. citizens in Pakistan enroll in the channel for timely updates. In addition, the State Department’s Bureau of Consular Affairs can be followed on social media platforms such as Facebook and X (formerly Twitter) under @travelgov for further updates.
