Welcome back to a new blog. What are the issues of visa appointments in Pakistan? If you are a student seeking a study visa, which countries should you avoid? Even if you apply, which countries have visa appointment challenges? In this blog, we will discuss these important points, covering different categories.
Importance of Choosing the Right Country:
This is a very important discussion that can save you time. Selecting a country with visa appointment issues or low visa approval ratios can waste your time, money, and motivation. This blog provides a complete picture of where to apply and where not to apply.
Countries to Avoid:
1. Italy:
Italy has a significant issue with visa appointments. The BLSA has introduced an appointment system, and despite various options, the availability of appointments remains problematic. Even if you secure a scholarship or admission, getting an appointment through the embassy is challenging. Additionally, there are many illegal agents demanding high fees, making it unwise to apply for a study visa for Italy.
2. USA:
The USA is experiencing significant delays in visa appointments. Currently, in 2024, it is advisable to avoid applying due to these issues.
3. Germany:
Germany has a high visa approval ratio, but appointment times are lengthy. It is only advisable to apply if you are a highly skilled professional or a PhD candidate, as they have a fast-track system for such applicants.
4. Greece:
Greece offers affordable education, but there are severe appointment issues for visas. The high volume of work visa applicants complicates matters, making it challenging to secure an appointment.
Countries with Poor Visa Ratios:
1. Poland:
Poland has a high rejection rate, around 100%. Recent regulations require that your degrees be verified by local authorities before university admission, making the process even more difficult.
2. USA:
The USA is strict about admission qualifications. Even with an appointment, inadequate qualifications can lead to rejection.
3. Portugal:
Portugal has a high rejection rate as well, estimated at around 50%.
4. Greece and Spain:
Both countries also have low visa approval ratios, so you should avoid applying to them.
Favorable Countries for Pakistani Students:
1. UK:
The UK presents no appointment or visa issues, making it a favorable destination for Pakistani students.
2. Belgium:
Belgium has a favorable visa appointment process, similar to Germany, and no significant issues with visa ratios.
3. France:
France has a good visa ratio with no major appointment issues. If you receive an appointment, it is worth considering.
4. Lithuania:
Lithuania has an impressive visa ratio, with no rejections reported for a significant intake period.
5. Finland:
Finland also offers good opportunities with a favorable visa appointment system.
6. Malaysia and Turkey:
These countries are increasingly popular among Pakistani students but do not offer permanent residency options.
