Turkish Student Visa for METU/ODTU
Hi, I'm applying for a student visa for my bachelor's at METU (Ankara) from Pakistan. I have a few questions:
- How much should I expect to spend living in Ankara per year if I opt for on-campus dorms?
- How much should my sponsor's closing balance be?
- How long would the visa process take? I just got my offer letter and classes commence in late September.
- Are there any other costs I should be aware of, other than the visa processing fee, air fare, tuition, dorms, and meals?
If there is anyone else from Pakistan applying to or currently studying in Turkiye, please DM me - I could use all the info I can get.
Also, I've heard that Turks are racist to Pakistanis in Turkey. How true is that and should I be worried?
