Hi Nancy! 👋 I was in a similar situation earlier, so I can share what I found. Yes, Zambian passport holders need to apply for a sticker visa through a Turkish Embassy or Consulate — but you don’t necessarily have to apply from your home country. You can usually apply from any country where you are legally residing or staying with a valid status (like the UK in your case). Since you already hold a UK residence permit and a valid UK visa, you can apply at the Turkish Consulate in London or Edinburgh. The processing time can vary, but it’s typically around 10 to 15 working days, depending on the consulate’s workload. It’s a good idea to contact the Turkish embassy or consulate to check the visa requirements. Contact details of the embassy can be found here: https://turkey-evisa.it.com/embassy-and-consulate-of-turkey/ Hope this helps! 😊

Hi Robbin! As of January 2024, U.S. passport holders no longer need a visa to enter Turkey for tourism or business purposes. You can stay up to 90 days within 180 days without applying for an e-Visa. Just make sure your passport is valid for at least 6 months from your date of entry. Safe travels!

Hi Morris! Sierra Leone passport holders aren’t eligible for the Turkey e-Visa, so you’ll need to apply for a Business Visa through the Turkish Embassy in Accra, Ghana, as they handle visa applications for Sierra Leone residents. You’ll generally need: 1. A valid passport (6+ months validity) 2. Completed visa form and recent photo 3. Business invitation letter from Turkey 4. Company letter from Sierra Leone 5. Flight and hotel bookings 6. Proof of funds (bank statement) Since your trip is urgent, it’s best to contact the embassy directly — they can advise if priority processing is possible. Contact details of the embassy can be found here: https://turkey-evisa.it.com/embassy-and-consulate-of-turkey/ Hope this helps, and safe travels!

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!
