Turkey Visa Guideline

To obtain a Turkish visa, you'll generally need a valid passport, a completed application form, a recent passport photo, proof of travel (flight and accommodation), and financial documentation to demonstrate your ability to support yourself during your stay. The specific requirements may vary depending on your nationality and the purpose of your visit (tourist, business, student, etc.). 

Here's a more detailed breakdown:

1. Passport and Personal Information:

• Passport:
  Your passport must be valid for at least 60 days beyond your intended stay, with blank pages for visa stamps.

• Application Form:
  You'll need to complete and sign the official Turkey visa application form.

• Photos:
  You'll typically need two recent passport-sized photos (50mm x 60mm) with a white background. 

2. Travel and Accommodation:

• Flight Reservation:
  You'll need to provide proof of a round-trip or onward ticket.

• Hotel Reservation/Invitation:
  You'll also need to show proof of accommodation, such as a hotel reservation or an invitation letter from a host in Turkey. 

3. Financial Means:

• Proof of Funds:
  You need to demonstrate you have sufficient funds to cover your expenses during your stay in Turkey. You'll need to provide documents like bank statements, salary slips, or other proof of income.

• Minimum Recommended Funds:
  Some sources suggest a minimum of $50 per day per person.

4. Other Requirements:

• Travel Insurance:
  Proof of travel insurance covering your stay in Turkey is usually required. 

• Purpose of Visit:
  You may need to provide additional documents depending on the purpose of your trip, such as an acceptance letter from a Turkish university for a student visa or a business invitation letter. 

• Previous Travel History:
  Information about previous trips to Turkey or visa applications may also be required. 

5. Application Process:

• Online Application:
  For some nationalities, an e-Visa can be obtained online via the official Turkish e-Visa website.

• Embassy/Consulate:
  For other nationalities or visa types, you may need to apply through the Turkish embassy or consulate in your country.

• Processing Times:
  Processing times can vary, but generally take a few days for e-Visas and can take longer for other visa types. 

6. Important Considerations:

• Overstaying:
  Be aware of the consequences of overstaying your visa, such as fines, deportation, or entry bans. 

• Visa Extensions:
  If you need to stay longer than permitted, you must apply for a residence permit.

• Dual Nationality:
  If you have dual citizenship, you must use the same passport for both entry and e-Visa application.
