How Pakistanis Can Get an e-Visa for Turkiye

If you’re a Pakistani thinking of visiting Turkiye  maybe for a short vacation or to attend a meeting — there is a chance you won’t even need to go to the embassy. That is because Turkey offers something called an e-Visa. It is quick, you apply online, and the whole thing takes just a few minutes if you have got the right stuff.

Who Can Apply for Turkiye e-Visa

Now here is the thing that not every Pakistani passport holder can apply. 

You must already have a valid visa or residency from one of these countries:

• USA
  
• UK
  
• آئرلینڈ
  
• Schengen countries (Europe)
  

Without one of these, you’ll have to apply through the Turkish embassy or visa center.

Documents Required for e-Visa (for Pakistanis)

• Valid Pakistani passport (at least 6 months valid)
  
• Valid visa or residence permit from US, UK, Ireland, or Schengen area
