How to Apply

  2. Gather the documents above; bank papers and the employer letter must be under 30 days old.
  3. Go to the Anatolia centre for your work area or CNIC address: Islamabad, Lahore, Karachi, Peshawar, Sialkot, Gujranwala, Faisalabad, Hyderabad, 9am–3pm weekdays.
  4. Complete the forms at the centre, check the printed form, and sign it.
  5. Buy the approved insurance at the centre and pay in cash; keep the computer-generated receipt.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Wrong centre — Use the centre for your work area or CNIC address.
  • Fake or altered documents — A verification unit checks papers with banks, employers and issuers. A forged document goes with your passport to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
  • Insurance bought elsewhere — Only Embassy-approved insurance sold at Anatolia centres counts.
  • Buying tickets and hotels early — Give reservations only; confirmed bookings before approval are your loss.
  • Agents and "fast-track" fees — No fast-track service exists and Anatolia has no authorised agents; pay nothing beyond the receipt.

The exact papers change by route; the logic below does not. Visa Document Checklist from Pakistan: The Complete Guide Every visa application from Pakistan rests on the same foundation: a file that proves who you are, why you are travelling, how you will pay for it, and why you will come home.
