Turkey and Bangladesh are part of the Organization of the Islamic Cooperation, and they share several traditions. In 1997, the Turkish President joined the silver jubilee of Bangladesh's Independence. Both countries benefit from bilateral trade and investment, which reached a billion-dollar deal. For Bangladeshi citizens planning to visit Turkey, it is essential to apply for Turkey e-Visa in advance to ensure smooth travel and easy entry into the country.

Citizens of Bangladesh, who hold an ordinary passport, have to get a visa to enter Turkey. They are eligible to get a single-entry permit for 30 days of travel if they have a valid Schengen membership or residence permit from the UK, USA, and Ireland. 

Bangladesh official and diplomatic passport holders get exempted from the visa requirement, provided that their stay would not exceed 90 days.

Bangladeshi Guide To Getting Turkey E-visa

Turkey and Bangladesh are two of the major countries whose population is more than ninety percent Islamic. With the similarities of their traditions and religion, Turkish and Bangladeshi people have accomplished many projects together. 

Turkey has preserved its historical heritage through the years. These unique and sacred Islamic places have been the go-to destinations for foreigners around the globe. To date, there are almost a hundred thousand mosques in Turkey. Bangladeshi citizens can immerse themselves in the culture of Turkey alongside the locals. 

Through the following sections, Bangladeshi citizens will have a fair knowledge of the Turkish e-Visa.

Turkey eVisa Eligibility for Bangladeshis

Bangladesh citizens can qualify for Turkish e-Visa if they meet these conditions:

• Bangladesh nationals are under a conditional e-Visa, wherein they should be a member of a Schengen country or have a resident permit to the UK, USA, or Ireland to qualify for single-entry.
• The Immigration authorities only require a visa for ordinary passport holders. Diplomatic and official passport holders get exempted.
• Hotel reservation and proof of income stability are part of the supporting documents (not yet needed during the online application)

When the Turkish Ministry of Foreign Affairs launched the electronic visa system, the acquisition of travel authorization to Turkey became easier. This process streamlines and simplifies the visa application process for eligible nationals under specific conditions. Now, Bangladesh citizens can get their visas online with a minimum requirement. Going to an embassy interview and signing a pile of paperwork is no longer necessary. 

Immigration recommends applying for a Turkish e-Visa at least a week before the intended travel date. It is so as to give leeway in case a discrepancy occurs.

Documents for Turkey eVisa Application

During the application, Bangladeshis should have the following for the eVisa to be processed:

• A valid passport (at least six months)
• A valid email address (the system sends a notification about the status and confirmation of the eVisa application)
• Payment for the visa fee (aside from credit card and debit card, a few other payment channels are also available on the website)

The online application is solely for tourism and business activities. Visa requirements for employment, educational and long-term residence in Turkey need approval from the Turkish embassy.

Turkish e-Visa has a 180 days validity period, and travelers must use it before it expires. Bangladesh citizens will have 30 days to tour or do their business activities in Turkey. The 30 days' duration will start on the day they arrive in the country. 

Bangladeshi travelers should download and print their eVisas and present all their documents to border control authorities. Inaccurate, incorrect, and incomplete information on arrival will lead to invalid entry.

Bangladesh nationals are also eligible for on-arrival visas. Transfer and transit passengers are not required to have one if they intend to stay no longer than 72 hours.
