Study in Turkey from Pakistan — Student Visa Consultants for Pakistan & the Gulf
Study in Turkey from Pakistan with LingoLab & Career Counselling. From our office opposite BZU in Multan, we guide students from South Punjab, the rest of Pakistan and the Gulf through the Turkey student visa — the right state or foundation university, Türkiye Bursları, your English score, your visa and your residence permit (ikamet) — with IELTS and PTE coaching under the same roof.
Study in Turkey from Pakistan — what do you need?
To study in Turkey you need an acceptance letter from a Turkish state or foundation university (or a Türkiye Bursları award), a student visa from the Embassy of Türkiye and a student residence permit (ikamet) after you arrive. Key figures:
- Visa: a student visa — the e-Visa is not valid for study
- Ikamet: apply within 1 month of arrival
- Türkiye Bursları: 6,500–13,000 TL a month + tuition & housing
- After graduation: a one-time permit of up to 1 year
Türkiye Bursları applications open every year from 10 January to 20 February. Every file is different — we build yours around your grades, budget and programme in a free assessment.
