Clarification Regarding Supporting Document for Turkish e-Visa Application

By Sai Aman Teppala

Dear Sir/Madam,

I am applying for a Turkish tourist e-Visa and would like some clarification regarding the supporting document requirements.

I am an Indian passport holder currently residing in the UK on a Graduate Route visa, valid until 12 January 2028. However, my UK immigration status is now digital (eVisa), and my physical Biometric Residence Permit (BRP) expired on 31 December 2024.

While completing the application, I noticed that Criterion 2 requires a valid visa or residence permit from the UK and states that e-Visas are not accepted as supporting documents.

Could you please clarify the following?

Can I use my valid UK Graduate Route eVisa as a supporting document for my Turkish e-Visa application?

If so, what document or evidence should I provide to prove my UK immigration status?

The application does not allow me to select my expired BRP date (31 December 2024). How should I proceed?

I would appreciate your guidance on whether I am eligible to apply for a Turkish e-Visa or need to apply for a regular visa instead.

Thank you for your assistance.

Kind regards,
Sai Aman Teppala
