Conclusion

In 2025, Veo 3 stands out as one of the most advanced AI-video generation tools available — capable of producing videos with synchronized audio, dialogue, and realistic visual effects. However, access remains limited globally. While it is available via platforms like Leonardo.Ai (which claims “global” availability) for users outside certain restricted regions, official access via Vertex AI / Gemini is still restricted to specific countries (e.g., the U.S.) and often requires premium subscription plans.
For users in regions like Pakistan, India or other non-U.S. territories, this means one of two paths:

• Use a global platform (like Leonardo.Ai) that has secured access to Veo 3, accepting that pricing, credit systems and regional support may vary.
• Wait (or monitor) for official local rollout via Google’s ecosystem, which may bring fuller feature sets (e.g., image-to-video, enterprise API) and localized pricing.
  Whichever path you choose, make sure to understand the subscription / credit model, regional restrictions, and feature-availability differences (for instance, some capabilities are disabled in the U.K./EEA).
  In short: Veo 3 is available — but not universally and not always at the same feature level. As the tool matures, wider access is very likely, so keeping an eye on updates and regional rollout announcements is wise.
