The Embassy informs the public that new slots will be opened for family reunion and business/tourism appointments on the website of the outsourcing company BLS International (https://blsitalypakistan.com/) on 1 March 2025 at 13.00 hrs. (Islamabad time). Users are reminded not to search for appointments elsewhere and not to rely on any type of intermediary as it is certainly a scam. Please remember that appointments are free of cost and that the Embassy does not communicate on WhatsApp or other social media. Well-structured control mechanisms are in place in order to avoid any abuse of the appointment system.
