Turkey has launched a hassle-free e-visa service, allowing tourists and business travelers to obtain their visas without visiting Turkish missions.
This service is available for passport holders with valid Schengen, USA, UK, and Ireland visas, or residence permits.
Three-step process
To apply for a visit visa to Turkey, Pakistani applicants can follow a straightforward three-step process:
-
Apply
Visit the official website at https://www.evisa.gov.tr/en/ to initiate the application. -
Pay fee
After entering the required information, applicants can make the necessary payments using a credit or debit card (Mastercard, Visa, or UnionPay). -
Download
Upon successful completion of the application, the applicant will receive a link to download their e-Visa. This link will also be emailed to them for convenience.
A copy of the e-Visa should be kept, 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 making the required payments.
The visit visa fee for Pakistani nationals is set at $60. This affordable fee opens the doors to exploring the unique beauty and culture of Turkey.
Minimum bank statement requirement
In addition to the visa fee, applicants must fulfill specific financial requirements, including providing proof of a return ticket and hotel reservation.
Official guidelines stipulate 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.
