Turkish authorities have introduced a convenient e-Visa service for Pakistani citizens holding ordinary passports who wish to visit Turkey. While regular passport holders typically need to obtain a visit visa to enter Turkey, those with a valid Schengen, USA, UK, Ireland visa, or residence permit can now apply for a one-month single entry e-Visa through the official website.
This new system allows applicants from Pakistan to acquire their visa within minutes, eliminating the need to visit Turkish missions in person.
How to Apply for Visit Visa for Turkiye
To apply for a visit visa to Turkey, individuals should visit the website https://www.evisa.gov.tr/en/. The process involves three simple steps: Apply, Pay Fee, and Download. Upon successful completion of the application, a link to download the e-Visa will be provided on the final step. Additionally, the same link will be sent via email. While passport control officers at entry points can verify the e-Visa electronically, it is advisable to keep a copy, either digitally or in print, in case of any system issues.
