Touristic Visa
It is a type of visa that foreign citizens coming to Turkey for touristic purposes must apply for. If the foreigner cannot benefit from visa exemption, he/she must apply for a tourist visa before entering Turkey. Tourist visa application can be made from Turkish foreign representative offices abroad or through e-visa.
Citizens of countries that are not subject to e-visa application should apply to the Turkish foreign representative office in their country and have a visa printed on their passports. The visa allows a maximum stay of 90 days in a 180-day period.
Foreigners who do not have the opportunity to apply for an e-visa must submit a passport, photograph, documents suitable for the purpose of travel, hotel flight reservation, sufficient financial proof documents and travel health insurance during their application to the Turkish Consulate.
Commercial Visa
Foreign nationals who wish to travel to Turkey for commercial purposes and who do not benefit from visa exemption must obtain a business visa before entering the country. The application for a business visa can be made as an e-visa or through the Turkish foreign missions in the country where the person is a citizen.
For applications to be made at Turkish Consulates, the applicant must submit a passport, photograph, business invitation from the company in Turkey and financial documents. For business visa applications in Turkey, a passport valid for at least 6 months from the end of the planned trip must be presented.
Turkey Visa Application Form
Foreigners wishing to travel to Turkey must submit a visa application form along with the documents proving the purpose of travel during the visa application. In the visa application form, the passport information of the person must be stated in accordance with the original. In addition, information about the purpose of the trip, how the travel expenses will be covered, and the dates of travel must be declared in the form in accordance with the truth.
Untruthful statements may lead to visa refusal, and even if the visa is approved, it may lead to visa cancellation. Making false statements about previous travel information, visa refusal information asked on the Turkey visa application form may lead to visa refusal.
Foreign nationals wishing to obtain a visa to Turkey can apply for a visa from the Turkish foreign representative offices in their country, or they can apply through the e-visa system offered by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Turkey. The above-mentioned points should also be taken into consideration when applying for an e-visa.
It is important to upload documents in the format allowed by the system when filling out the Turkey e-visa application form or the pre-application form in the classical visa application. Especially in biometric photo uploads, it should be ensured that the photo is scanned and transferred to the computer. Attempting to upload documents that are incompatible with the system will not be accepted by the system. The sample pre-application form is as follows.
