The US consulates in Lahore and Karachi are set to resume regular consular services from July 20, 2026, the US Embassy in Islamabad said in a statement on Wednesday.
The consulates will provide services to US citizens as well as process non-immigrant visa applications.
US consular services in Lahore and Karachi were suspended in March after protests turned deadly at the onset of the US-Israel war with Iran.
On March 1, 10 people were killed in Karachi when protesters clashed with law enforcement personnel near the US Consulate on Mai Kolachi Road.
Law enforcement personnel resorted to teargas shelling and baton-charge to control the situation, and US Marines were reported to have opened fire on the protestors.
