I heard and saw that a lot of rejections are coming from the Karachi Consulate, where the visa ratio was 95-98%, and from the Islamabad Embassy, where the visa acceptance ratio was very low. If you are getting rejections, then the purpose of today’s blog is to discuss what you should do if you do not have a bank statement.
Bank Statements and Proof of Income
Let me tell you that whatever it is, when you think of going to Italy or any European country, if you have a bank statement, it means that there is someone in your house—your mother, father, brother, or sister. For example, if a person earns well, with a monthly salary of 2 lakh, 5 lakh, and has a bank statement showing 30 lakh, 50 lakh, or 25 lakh lying in the bank for the last 6 months, it is clear from the statement that this person has a salary of Rs 5 lakh or 2 lakh, so they can save that much money.
If you do not have a bank statement, then do not even think about going to Italy or other European countries. Last week, I made a blog on Rams. I don’t know Rams myself; that’s why I made a blog with Ali Bhai. If you have any issues, you can ask him.
For Germany, you need a block account, which is even more difficult than in Italy. In Italy, you have to show the bank statement and give proof of where the money came from. If you have any business registered with FBR, show that. For example, if you have a pen business earning Rs 10-12 lakh per month, you can show your earnings and justify your bank statement.
Educational Aspirations
If there is any government or private employee in your household who earns a good amount, then you can think about going to Italy. There are many students who have completed their education outside Pakistan, specifically from Pakistan because the situation in Pakistan is not like before. Many students want to continue their education outside Pakistan, whether for a bachelor’s or master’s. Before leaving Pakistan, you have to plan what you want to do.
Last week, I uploaded a blog that if you want to ask anything or need consultancy, I had given my personal number. I received a non-serious attitude from people. There is a scene where people don’t know what to do. When you think about leaving Pakistan, you need to have a plan.
Importance of Planning
Before leaving, think about your plans. Don’t just say you want to get out of Pakistan without a purpose. If you want to study, come with a mindset to study. If you don’t, it will be very difficult for you. If you are going to study, study well, and your other matters will continue alongside your studies. Whatever you want, think about it.
In Europe, why in Germany do you need a block account, and in Italy, a bank statement? Many visas are rejected just on the basis of the bank statement. A close friend of mine recently got his visa rejected. He had a bank statement showing a good amount of Rs 30 lakhs for three months, and his visa still got rejected.
What I mean to say is that you should focus on your goal: to study. You have many options. If you want to go, there are many alternatives. First of all, I know people from google groups who are earning Rs 2.5 to Rs 3 lakh per month in China.
Exploring Other Opportunities
You can think of countries like China, Taiwan, Kazakhstan, or Malaysia. In Thailand, you can get scholarships. I count myself among the lucky ones who reached Europe from Pakistan. If you are not able to get a visa to Europe, then your first step should be to consider Asian countries. Try going to China for your master’s. You can save a significant amount while studying.
For example, you saved 25 lakhs during your master’s, and if you want to go to Germany for a PhD, you will have the funds. Just like your three-year PhD is about to end, your PR will also start happening.
Conclusion
So, don’t just focus on Europe and Italy. If you don’t have a bank statement, you can try other countries. I hope you understand these options and whatever dreams you have about Germany, Italy, and European countries.
Don’t waste your time; time is precious. Try applying to Asian countries as well. If you get accepted in China, your chances of going there are almost 100%.
China is a good place, especially for Pakistanis. Before dismissing it, consider your situation and then look at China. I hope you understand what I said. If you found anything wrong, I am sorry. See you in the next blog.
