a) Has anyone heard of issues with either getting a visa for, or travelling in Pakistan when one's passport contains an Indian OCI visa?

b) As Indian nationals can enter Nepal with only an ID document, ergo no passport or visa, might i theoretically be able to do the same, showing my OCI card and in-passport visa?

Many thanks,

a) Pakistan routinely grants visas to persons with such passports. The current US President is but one of many people who in private capacity had India issue him a visa on a US passport with a Pakistani visa nearly 20 years ago. Regional tourism still does occur in much the same manner.

b) Getting a visa on arrival in Nepal is a rather ordinary process, but a passport is required.
