Turkey has introduced a streamlined e-visa service for Pakistani travelers, enabling them to apply for visas without needing to visit Turkish consulates.

As of October 2024, this service is available for holders of valid visas or residence permits from Schengen countries, the USA, the UK, and Ireland.

To apply for the visa, Pakistani applicants need to follow a simple three-step process:

• Application: Visit the official e-visa website evisa.gov.tr to start the application.

• Payment: Fill in the required details and pay the visa fee of $60 using a credit or debit card (Mastercard, Visa, or UnionPay).

• Download: After successful processing, applicants will receive a link to download their e-Visa, which will also be sent to their email for convenience.

Additionally, applicants are required to provide proof of a return ticket and hotel reservations.

Financially, travelers must show a minimum of $50 for each day of their stay, meaning a tourist planning a 30-day trip must present a bank statement reflecting at least $1,500.
