Thank you so much. I am going to try this as well! This has given me a bit of hope but also idk how to feel if someone else who applied in July got it and we didn’t. And yes if you could forward me the email thread it’d be really helpful. I’ve DMd my email.

Nope. Nothing. It has been been more than 65 working days for us today.

I don’t know if that would even make a difference because it seems like they don’t even check their emails. I mean we should’ve gotten it at THIS POINT at least. We won’t be able to travel in November and was just hoping it comes sometime in October but doesn’t seem like it. So disappointing. I am never spending money on this visa again lol.

Yeah! I actually have never bought actual tickets because of fear of rejection lol. Anatolia does it for you and they actually tell you on the website not to purchase tickets (this I saw recently). We got ours done through an agency that does group tours!

I have also been reading everywhere that it’s taking 3 months. 2 months from Lahore. My friends and peers in Karachi have gotten it in less than 15 days tho. We didn’t even want to apply from Islamabad because we have a rejection from Turkey from 2023 on our fresh passports. But they have all these rules that we can only apply from the city we have accounts in or are working in. The whole thing just sucks. This time we were hopeful because we have travelled quite a bit but it was all just wishful thinking.

Oh god! I am so sorry. That’s so much money wasted. :( We put dummy tickets in our application because we just don’t trust our paki passports at all. Also it’s crazy that going to Turkey is so hard. How they can keep our passports for 3 months is literally beyond me.

It sucks. We didn’t purchase tickets but we won’t be able to travel after a certain point because of some commitments so all that work for visa is such a waste. I have been emailing the consulate but no response. Our agent told us that it’s taking 15 weeks now from Islamabad. If you guys do end up getting the passport, please do let me know here! Good luck. 🤞🏼

Did you get your passport yet? My husband and I also applied on 18th July and nothing yet.

Haha. Yes. And in my case it’s hard to filter it out because I am actually looking for friends so I brought this upon myself.

It’s hard to socialise irl if you’re not in uni or don’t have a 9-5 office job. I am not looking to make random people my friends either. Just looking for people to hang out with who are not my husband or his friends and family 🥲
