The visas will be issued to those possessing tickets of the match obtained by the BCCP from India and put on sale at the counters established in Lahore at the Qadaffi Stadium. The visas applications are also being entertained by the American Express for submission to the Indian High Commission.

Majority of the Pakistanis cricket fans visiting Mohali will cross border via Wagha.
