Jemima Khan, former wife of Imran Khan, has publicly appealed to Pakistan’s Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif to allow her two sons, Sulaiman Khan and Kasim Khan, to visit their father in Pakistan.
The children applied for visas in January 2026 for the second time to see their father, but the Pakistan consulate has yet to issue them, despite stating that online visa processing normally takes 7–10 working days. It has now been 60 days with no progress.
This comes despite earlier public assurances by Khawaja Muhammad Asif and the Prime Minister’s spokesperson Mosharraf Zaidi that the sons could safely travel to visit their father after four years.
Meanwhile, the boys are not allowed to speak to their father on the phone, nor send him letters. They have not seen him since 2022, following an assassination attempt in which he was shot.
Jemima Khan stressed the urgency of the matter, highlighting concerns over Imran Khan’s declining health, and appealed for immediate approval of the visas so that her sons can visit their father without further delay.
