CNIC vs. Passport PTA Registration: What’s the Difference?

Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) lets overseas Pakistanis and travellers register imported phones two ways, and the PTA approval charges differ significantly between them:

Passport (within 60 days): If you register on your passport within 60 days of arriving in Pakistan, you pay the lower duty slab. This is the cheapest route for iPhone PTA charges and is ideal for travellers.
CNIC Registration: Registering on your CNIC (or after the 60-day window) applies the higher tax bracket — used by most local buyers of imported or used devices.

For premium models such as the iPhone 13 Pro Max PTA approval charges or iPhone 12 Pro PTA charges, the gap between passport and CNIC registration can run into tens of thousands of rupees, so always compare both before you register.
