Turkey visa for Pakistani passport holders from UK

My friend is also from Eritrea and was looking to apply for an eVisa. He has a U.S. Green Card, but we found out that he is not eligible for an eVisa. So, we went through the regular visa process via the embassy instead. I hope this information help you

Hey Gamal, I recently had a similar situation during my travels. My layover was for 8 hours, and when I contacted the immigration department, they informed me that as long as I stay in the transit area, no visa is needed. I hope this information helps you too!

Hi Ibrahim, Welcome to the community! I recently went through the process myself, so happy to share some info. Kenyan passport holders are not eligible to apply for an e-visa, and rather, you have to go through the regular visa process via the Turkish embassy in Sweden. Hope this helps, and wish you and your wife a great trip to Istanbul!

¡Hola! En general, los ciudadanos de la República Dominicana no necesitan visa de tránsito si solo hacen escala en el aeropuerto turco y no van a salir de la zona aeroportuaria internacional. Sin embargo, si su escala implica salir del aeropuerto o cambiar de aeropuerto, es posible que necesite una visa. También recomiendo confirmar con la aerolínea y la embajada de Turquía para estar completamente seguro según su itinerario específico. ¡Espero que esta información les sea útil! 😊✈️

I’m also from Rwanda 🇷🇼 and ran into the same issue before. Unfortunately, we’re not eligible for the Turkey eVisa online. When I had to travel, I got my visa directly from the embassy/consulate instead. I’d suggest you do the same — just reach out to the nearest Turkish embassy and they’ll guide you through the seafarer visa requirements. It’s a bit more paperwork but that’s the only way that worked for me. 👍

Hi there! 👋 If you’re holding a Refugee Travel Document issued in Montreal (Canada), you’ll likely need to apply for a sticker visa at the nearest Turkish consulate or embassy. Unfortunately, e-visas are generally not available for Refugee Travel Document holders. I’d recommend contacting the Turkish Consulate General in Montreal directly to confirm the required documents and the appropriate visa category for your situation. They’ll be able to guide you best based on your travel purpose (tourism, family visit, etc.). Hope that helps! 😊 Safe travels! ✈️

I had almost the exact same concern when I traveled to Turkey last year using my UK visa as supporting proof. My UK entry visa stamp was valid for 3 months only, but I also had the BRP/residence proof showing I was allowed to stay longer. When I asked around, I was told the Turkish eVisa system mainly looks for you to hold a valid supporting visa/residence at the time of application. At the airport, the immigration officers just wanted to quickly check my UK residence proof (I showed my BRP/share code), and it was fine 👍. That said, since your stamped visa technically expires a day before your trip, I’d suggest carrying both the share code + your residence docs (or any official proof that your stay is still valid). Immigration can be strict, so better to have everything on hand. If you’re still unsure, it’s safest to confirm directly with the Turkish consulate — that way you won’t have any last-minute surprises ✈️.

Hi there! 😊 Yes, with a valid Italian residence permit, you may be eligible to apply for a Turkey e-Visa, depending on your nationality. The residence permit itself doesn't automatically grant visa-free access, but it can make you eligible for the electronic visa if you're from a country that qualifies under Turkey’s e-Visa rules for residents of Schengen countries. To help you better, it would be helpful to know what passport you hold. Some nationalities can apply online for an e-Visa if they have a valid Schengen, UK, US, or Irish visa/residence permit.

One of my friends was facing the same issue, and I helped him with this. I informed him as follows: "This is to inform you that you are not eligible to apply for a Turkey eVisa, as you do not meet the eVisa eligibility requirements. You can check your eligibility here: 👉 https://turkey-evisa.it.com/all-eligible-country-for-turkey-visa/ You will need to apply for a sticker visa at the nearest Turkish embassy or consulate in your country or a nearby country. Please contact them directly for further assistance." https://turkey-evisa.it.com/embassy-and-consulate-of-turkey/ Let me know if you need help with the embassy details.

Hi Ahmed, as far as I know, Saudi Arabian citizens do not need an eVisa to enter Turkey for tourism or short visits. You can stay in Turkey visa-free for up to 90 days within 180 days. However, I’d still recommend double-checking with the nearest Turkish embassy to ensure there haven't been any recent changes.
