What is specific to Italy

Italy is one of the highest-volume Schengen missions for Pakistani applicants, which means the appointment queue rather than the decision is usually what delays a trip.

Applications are accepted in all three Gerry's cities, so a Karachi or Lahore applicant does not need to travel to Islamabad.

How we prepare the file

We run your documents against the pattern of problems we see on Italy files: dates that disagree between flights and accommodation, a bank statement missing the branch stamp on one page, photographs outside specification, and insurance wording that does not cover the right territory. Each of those is fixed before submission rather than discovered at the counter.
