76.4472 PKR
QAR is fixed to the dollar (3.64 since 1980); the Pakistani Rupee floats against the dollar and has faced significant depreciation pressure in recent years tied to Pakistan's balance-of-payments and inflation challenges. As with the other Qatar corridor pairs, movement here is driven almost entirely by the PKR side.
Qatar has a substantial Pakistani migrant-worker population (commonly estimated at 150,000+), for whom remittances back to Pakistan are a major household income source and, nationally, a significant contributor to Pakistan's foreign-exchange inflows.
The rate shown here is an indicative mid-market rate — banks, exchange houses, and remittance apps quote their own 'payout rate' for QAR/PKR, and because the rupee has been under sustained depreciation pressure, that payout rate can move noticeably even within the same day.
Banks typically apply a wider spread on this corridor than dedicated exchange houses or remittance apps — worth comparing a bank's payout rate against a licensed money-transfer operator, especially given how much the PKR side of this pair has moved in recent years.
Funding a remittance transfer with a credit card can add your card issuer's cash-advance or foreign-transaction fee on top of the transfer fee itself — a bank transfer or linked e-wallet top-up is usually the cheaper way to fund a send on this corridor.
Total cost has two separate parts: the transfer fee (usually disclosed upfront) and the spread built into the provider's exchange rate — the amount your recipient in Pakistan actually receives reflects both, and given the rupee's volatility, it's worth checking a provider's live rate rather than relying on a rate seen earlier in the day.
The rate shown here is a continuously updated mid-market reference for comparison — always confirm the specific rate and fee a licensed, regulated provider quotes at the moment of sending, since informal or unregulated channels carry no consumer protection even when they advertise a better rate.
Why has this rate moved so much over time?
Because the Pakistani rupee has depreciated substantially against the dollar in recent years due to Pakistan's economic pressures — since QAR is fixed, that shows up almost directly in QAR/PKR.
What's the safest way to send money from Qatar to Pakistan?
Licensed exchange houses and bank transfers are the standard, regulated channels; informal/unregulated arrangements carry no consumer protection even if occasionally quoted at a better rate.
