Application for a Business Visa

Hi Kiran! As an Australian passport holder, you don’t need to apply for a Turkish visa beforehand if you’re visiting for tourism or business. You can get an e-Visa online, which is very quick and usually approved within minutes. The visa is typically valid for 90 days within a 180-day period, so it covers both one-month and two-month stays easily. You can apply directly for an e-visa here: https://turkey-evisa.it.com/application/, and you can also check the fees by selecting your nationality here: https://turkey-evisa.it.com/turkey-visa-fee/ I’d recommend applying online before your trip just to save time on arrival — it’s more convenient and ensures smooth entry. Safe travels and enjoy your time in Türkiye!

Hi Neeti! I had a similar connection in Istanbul recently while flying with Ajet. Since you’re holding an Indian passport and have a valid UK visa, you don’t need a transit visa as long as you’re not exiting the international transit area of the airport during your layover. The app sometimes shows a general alert for all travelers, but in your case, it’s fine — you can stay airside and continue to your next flight without any issues. Also, I recommend contacting your airline once to check if you will require a transit visa or not. Just make sure both your flights are from the same airports, since changing airports would require passing immigration. Safe travels

Hi Owais, Yes, Pakistani passport holders are eligible to apply for a Turkish e-Visa. However, they also need to provide a supporting document, such as a valid visa or residence permit from the USA, the UK, Ireland, or any Schengen country. If your parents have a valid supporting document and their passports are valid for at least 6 months at the time of arrival in Turkey, you can directly apply for their e-Visa here: https://turkey-evisa.it.com/application/. If they do not have a valid supporting document, you will need to apply for a sticker visa through the nearest Turkish embassy or consulate. I recommend contacting the embassy or consulate to confirm the requirements for a sticker visa. You can find their contact details here: https://turkey-evisa.it.com/embassy-and-consulate-of-turkey/. Safe travels to your family!
