A Quick Guide for Pakistani Travelers
Turkey has introduced a convenient e-Visa service, streamlining the visa acquisition process for tourists and business travelers, eliminating the need to visit Turkish missions.
This service is accessible to ordinary passport holders possessing valid Schengen, USA, UK, Ireland visas, or residence permits.
The application process for a visit visa to Turkey involves a simple three-step procedure:
Apply:
Interested Pakistani applicants can initiate the application process by visiting the official website at https://www.evisa.gov.tr/en/.
Pay fee:
Applicants can quickly pay with a credit or debit card Mastercard Visa or UnionPay after providing the relevant information.
Download:
The application will be successfully completed and the applicant will be sent a link to obtain their e Visa. This link will also be emailed to them for their convenience. It is advisable to retain a copy of the e-Visa, either in electronic format (on a tablet, smartphone, etc.) or as a hard copy in case of any system issues at the entry points.
Turkey Visit Visa Fee:
Applicants can obtain their Turkey visit visas electronically after completing the required payments. The visit visa fee for Pakistani nationals is $60. This reasonable fee provides access to the unique beauty and culture of Turkey.
