A corridor (border crossing) was inaugurated in November 2018 at Kartarpur. Sikhs from India could travel to Pakistan without visa to pay their respects at the shrine.

Earlier, during 1999, the prime minister of India, Atal Bihari Vajpayee and President of Pakistan, Pervez Musharraf, were the part of Delhi–Lahore Bus diplomacy and gave the idea of a border crossing at Kartarpur. On 26 November 2018, the foundation stone was laid down on the Indian side by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Two days later, on 28 November 2018, Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan did the same for the Pakistani side.
