Slovenia does not operate a resident embassy or consulate in Pakistan. Instead, its diplomat and consular matters for Pakistani citizens are officially controlled by the Embassy of the Republic of Slovenia in Tehran, Iran. In addition, Slovenia holds an honorary consulate in Karachi for limited local support.
Slovenia visa applications are proccessed in Pakistan by the Germany embassy in Islamabad. So, the Pakistanis who want to apply for a Slovenian visa will send their applications through the German Embassy in Islamabad or the German consulate in Karachi, often with the help of VFS Global Visa application centers.
