Turkey has introduced a convenient e Visa service, eliminating the need for tourists and business travelers to visit Turkish missions for visa applications. This service is accessible to ordinary passport holders with valid Schengen, USA, UK, Ireland visas, or residence permits.
The application process for a visit visa to Turkey involves three simple steps:
- Apply:
Visit the official website here to initiate the application. - Pay fee:
After entering the necessary information, applicants can make payments using a credit or debit card (Mastercard, Visa, or UnionPay). - Download:
Upon successful application completion, applicants receive a link to download their e-Visa, which is also emailed to them for convenience. It is advisable to keep a copy of the e-Visa in electronic format (on a tablet, smartphone, etc.) or as a hard copy for potential entry point system issues.
The fee for a Turkey visit visa for Pakistani nationals is $60, offering an affordable opportunity to explore the distinctive beauty and culture of Turkey.
In addition to the visa fee, applicants must meet specific financial requirements, including providing evidence of a return ticket and hotel reservation. According to official guidelines, tourists should have a minimum of $50 for each day of their stay in Turkey. Consequently, a Pakistani tourist planning a 30-day stay in Turkey must present a bank statement with a balance of at least $1,500 to fulfill this requirement.
