I need to be in turkey by 27th june for my appointment on 30th june. I'll be submitting my application around 25th may at Anatolia islamabad. Is that enough time? Or should i move my appointment at the embassy of estonia in ankara to a later date?
If anyone has experience with any of this, please help me out.
Im planning on applying for my Turkish visit visa through Anatolia travel services soon. Im planning on staying there for 2 weeks maximum, i just need to travel to turkey to visit my visa appointment for estonia in turkey.
I have a few questions regarding the funding. Im not at all from a well off family so our bank statements aren't the best. I have a fully funded scholarship for estonia, but im worried about turkey.
My father will be funding my stay in turkey, he has around 4 lac maybe in his account. My insurance on my fathers behalf will arrive this month (it's around 8 lac PKR) to his bank account and will of course show up on the bank statements. I wanted to ask if that would cover the issue with funding or would they possibly reject my application due to this?
Additionally, would it be advisable to take a loan for this? My father can take a loan from his bank, also around the same amount as the insurance. Idk what other options i have because i absolutely need to visit turkey for my visa appointment on 30th june.

A bit of a rant to get some things off my chest. The last few days have been very hard on me. I might be coming from a place of privilege, and if this comes off as dismissive, I apologize for that. I'm not asking for any advice, and of course not financial help, or funding by any means, just trying to get this off my chest.
For context, I am the only child and daughter of a very conservative, low-working-class family. We do have other privileges, alhamdulillah, but essentially we have to hold ourselves back from spending too much to avoid financial strain. I've always been a straight-A student. Seeing how hard my parents work to give me the life they never had, my life, alhamdulillah, has been about achieving things so I can give back to them.
Since I was younger, my dream has been to study abroad in Europe. That is genuinely the one thing I have always wanted for myself. It's a tough topic for me because I've been trying for years and have faced multiple rejections. My parents are extremely supportive and would give anything for me to achieve this. However, as I mentioned, I come from a conservative family. My extended family, more than my parents, believe in “beti ko apnay ghar bhejna,” and I’m not a fan of that. I want to be independent, live on my own, experience life on my own terms, and give back to my parents. But now that I’m 22, it feels inevitable, and I’ve made some level of peace with it.
I completed my bachelor’s in a very niche field, biomedical sciences, with very limited job opportunities in Pakistan. A few months ago, alhamdulillah, I received a very prestigious scholarship. My parents and I were over the moon. However, my university is in Estonia (Tallinn), and I soon realized I would have to travel to apply for my visa, which is where the problems began.
My only route is Turkey, and Turkey requires a 10 lakh bank statement, which we do not have. The maximum we can show is around 5 lakh. I feel absolutely crushed, like I am so close yet so far from living my dreams. My visit visa to Turkey will most likely get rejected because of this, and it feels like all the doors that opened for me have just as quickly closed. The other countries each have their own issues, whether related to visas, appointment availability, or outright refusal to process Pakistani applications.
I’m not even sure if this is the right reaction to all of this.
I am aware that life goes on without it. It’s just that this is the life I always envisioned for myself. I got a glimpse of it, and it feels like it was taken away from me. I know I’ll never get the same opportunities in Pakistan that I would have gotten there. It baffles me how, no matter what, you can’t fight naseeb.
Because of this, I already know what the next conversation with my family will be: marriage. I don’t want it. I’m not ready. Why do I have to choose between two drastically different lives?
I’m just really upset over this whole situation, and I can’t help but go over everything again and again. I try to imagine what my life here would look like, and it’s not what I want or what I worked for.
