Use Regular expression in the Validator,

return Validator::make($data, [
    'your_input' => [
        'required',
        'regex:/^[a-zA-Z]{2}[0-9]{4}+$/',
    ]
]);

you need to add ^ and $ on regex to make sure it match First 2 and 4 End

As comments say, you can do this by regex:

$validated = $request->validate([
    'some_col' => ['string', 'regex:/^[A-Z]{2}[0-9]{4}$/'],
    // other rule
]);

According to docs, this rule use preg_match so you should follow the same formatting required by preg_match. Don't forget to use array to specify rules (just like example code).
