Turkey has introduced a convenient e-visa service, making it easier for tourists and business travelers from Pakistan to obtain their visas without the need to visit Turkish embassies or consulates. This service is available for Pakistani passport holders who already have valid Schengen, USA, UK, and Ireland visas or residence permits.
The application process for a Turkish visit visa involves three simple steps:
Apply: To start the application process, Pakistani applicants can visit the official website at https://www.evisa.gov.tr/en/
Pay Fee: After providing the necessary information, applicants can make the required payments using a credit or debit card (Mastercard, Visa, or UnionPay).
Download: Upon completing the application, the applicant will receive a link to download their e-Visa. This link will also be sent to their email for added convenience. It’s recommended to keep a copy of the e-visa in electronic format on a device or as a hard copy in case of any issues at the entry points.
For Pakistani nationals, the fee for a Turkey visit visa is set at $60. This reasonable fee allows travelers to experience the unique beauty and culture of Turkey.
In addition to the visa fee, applicants must meet specific financial requirements, including providing proof of a return ticket and hotel reservation. Official guidelines specify that a tourist should have a minimum of $50 for each day of their stay in Turkey. Therefore, a Pakistani tourist planning to spend 30 days in Turkey must demonstrate a bank statement with a balance of at least $1,500 to meet this requirement.
