Time difference between Karachi and Amsterdam
Amsterdam is 3 hours behind Karachi
Karachi, Pakistan is UTC+5 · Amsterdam, the Netherlands is UTC+1 — on standard time
The gap is not the same all year
Every converter gives one number for this pair. That number is right for most of the year and wrong for part of it, because Karachi does not change its clocks and Amsterdam goes forward on the last Sunday in March and back on the last Sunday in October.
| Karachi / Amsterdam clocks | Difference | How long |
|---|---|---|
| standard / summer | 3 hours behind | about 30 weeks |
| standard / standard | 4 hours behind | about 22 weeks |
Karachi stays put all year while Amsterdam moves, so the gap changes twice a year from Amsterdam's side alone. A recurring meeting set in Karachi's calendar will drift by an hour without anyone touching it.
