Make Pakistan passport holders eligible for the UK Registered Traveller Service

Closed 42 signatures

What the petition asks

We ask the UK Government to add Pakistan to the Registered Traveller Service now that it issues ICAO-compliant e-passports. This could ease travel for frequent visitors and help improve fairness, potentially reducing the queue for passport checks for Pakistani nationals at the border.
Pakistan now issues ICAO-compliant biometric e-passports. We believe adding Pakistan would ease travel for frequent visitors, support business and family ties, and reflect fairness given similar countries are included. We believe it could also strengthen UK–Pakistan relations and benefit thousands of travellers who currently face delays despite holding secure documents.
