Background

Our client, a 42-year-old man from Faisalabad, was diagnosed with a rare liver condition requiring urgent surgery. After consulting local doctors, he was advised to seek treatment in Istanbul, where a specialized hospital had experience with his case.

His family was panicking — they had no idea how to apply for a medical visa, and time was of the essence. Most local travel agents had no knowledge about medical documentation and just gave copy-paste tourist visa advice.

That’s when they reached out to PAPA VISA, hoping to find someone who truly cared.

The Challenge

• Time-sensitive application — treatment needed within 30 days
• Client’s health condition limited mobility and required in-home assistance
• Language barrier: Turkish hospital only communicated in Turkish
• Documentation from the hospital was incomplete at first
• No previous international travel record

Our Solution

Hospital Coordination — We contacted the hospital in Istanbul directly, requested proper medical invitation letters in both Turkish and English, and verified all necessary credentials for visa purposes.
Visa File Preparation — We compiled a specialized visa application including:

• Medical history with doctor’s recommendation
• Proof of hospital appointment and admission
• Bank statement of sponsor (client’s brother)
• Evidence of strong ties to Pakistan (family documents, property)

Urgent Embassy Appointment — We used our internal connections to schedule an emergency appointment at the Turkish Embassy in Islamabad.
Translation & Legal Support — All medical documents were translated, notarized, and compiled as per embassy requirements.
Travel & Stay Arrangement — We arranged hotel accommodation near the hospital, airport pickup, and even local health insurance.

Outcome

The Turkish embassy approved the medical visa within 7 working days.
The client traveled to Istanbul with his brother and successfully underwent surgery.
After two weeks in recovery, he returned home and is now in stable condition.
