Turkey Visa for Pakistani Citizens: eVisa Requirements

Pakistani citizens traveling with an ordinary passport need a visa to enter Türkiye. A Turkey eVisa for Pakistani citizens is available conditionally: ordinary-passport holders must have a valid visa or residence permit from a Schengen country, the United States, the United Kingdom or Ireland and meet the other eVisa conditions. The eVisa is for tourism or business travel and is issued for a single entry. Official Pakistani passport holders have different rules and may travel visa-free for up to 90 days.

Check your eligibility first: Verify your Turkey eVisa eligibility before starting an application.

Do Pakistani Citizens Need a Visa for Türkiye?

Yes. Pakistani citizens using an ordinary passport need a visa to enter Türkiye. However, eligible ordinary-passport holders can obtain a Turkey eVisa online instead of using the regular consular visa route.

Passport type makes an important difference:

• Ordinary Pakistani passport: A visa is required. A conditional eVisa may be available.
• Official Pakistani passport: Visa-exempt for travel to Türkiye for up to 90 days. Türkiye's Ministry of Foreign Affairs defines official passports as including diplomatic, service, special and official passports.

This page primarily covers the Turkey visa requirements for Pakistani citizens traveling on ordinary passports for tourism or business.

Are Pakistani Citizens Eligible for a Turkey eVisa?

Yes, but only if all applicable conditions are met.

Pakistani ordinary-passport holders may obtain a single-entry Turkey eVisa if they hold a qualifying supporting document and satisfy the other requirements displayed during the eVisa application. Türkiye's Ministry of Foreign Affairs specifically identifies a valid Schengen, U.S., U.K. or Irish visa or residence permit as the qualifying supporting document for Pakistani ordinary-passport holders.

An eVisa issued by another country does not qualify as the required supporting visa.

Because the Turkey eVisa for Pakistani citizens is conditional, holding a Pakistani passport alone does not make a traveler eligible. Check every condition before paying for an application.

Turkey eVisa Requirements for Pakistani Citizens

Pakistani applicants should be ready to meet the following conditions when applying for an eVisa.

Valid Supporting Visa or Residence Permit

You need a valid visa or residence permit issued by one of the following:

• a Schengen country;
• the United States;
• the United Kingdom; or
• Ireland.

The supporting document must remain valid on the date you enter Türkiye. An eVisa from another country is not accepted as a supporting visa.

Valid Pakistani Passport

Your passport must cover your intended stay in Türkiye. Türkiye's Ministry of Foreign Affairs also advises travelers to use a passport valid for at least six months from the date of arrival.

The details entered in the eVisa application must match the passport used for travel. If you obtain a new passport after receiving an eVisa, check whether a new application is required before traveling.

Return or Onward Ticket

Eligible Pakistani applicants must be able to provide evidence of a return or onward ticket where required by the eVisa conditions.

Keep your travel confirmation accessible when traveling because supporting evidence may be requested.

Hotel Reservation

Applicants should have proof of accommodation, such as a hotel reservation, covering the relevant trip to Türkiye.

Make sure the reservation information is consistent with your planned travel dates.

Sufficient Funds

The eVisa conditions applicable to Pakistani travelers require applicants to be able to show at least US$50 for each day of their stay.

For example, a traveler planning a 10-day trip should be able to demonstrate access to at least US$500 for the stay.

Tourism or Business Purpose

A Turkey eVisa can be used for tourism or business/commercial travel. It cannot be used for employment, study, residence or other purposes requiring a different Turkish visa or permit.

Travelers going to Türkiye for work or study should use the appropriate visa route through Turkish authorities rather than applying for a tourist/business eVisa.

How to apply for a Turkey visa from Pakistan?

How to Apply for a Turkey eVisa from Pakistan

Eligible travelers can complete the Turkey visa application from Pakistan online. The process does not require the applicant to obtain an eVisa stamp from an embassy.

1. Check your eligibility. Confirm that you hold an ordinary Pakistani passport, have an accepted supporting visa or residence permit and satisfy all other conditions.
2. Complete the application. Enter your passport, personal and travel information carefully. The details must match your passport.
3. Review the information and pay. Check names, passport number, dates and supporting-document information before making payment.
4. Receive and download the eVisa. When the Turkish authorities issue the eVisa, keep an electronic or printed copy available for your trip.
5. Travel with the required documents. Carry the passport used for the application and the valid supporting visa or residence permit, together with relevant ticket, accommodation and financial evidence.

TurkeyImmigration.org provides private application assistance for eligible travelers. The service does not issue or approve Turkish visas; visa decisions are made by the competent Turkish authorities.

Turkey eVisa Validity and Length of Stay for Pakistanis

A Turkey eVisa for an eligible Pakistani ordinary-passport holder is a single-entry visa permitting a stay of up to 30 days. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs describes the Pakistan eVisa route as a one-month, single-entry eVisa.

It is important not to confuse the visa validity window with the permitted stay.

• Validity window means the period during which the issued eVisa can be used for entry.
• Permitted stay means how long the traveler may remain in Türkiye after entering.
• Single entry means the visa is used for one entry; leaving Türkiye generally ends that entry permission.

TurkeyImmigration.org currently displays a 180-day validity period for the Pakistani eVisa product, with a maximum 30-day stay and single entry. Because visa details can change, travelers should follow the dates and conditions printed on the eVisa actually issued to them.

An eVisa does not guarantee admission. Turkish border authorities make the final decision on entry.

Turkey Visa Fees for Pakistani Citizens

The cost of a Turkey visa from Pakistan can include more than one type of charge, particularly when using a private application assistance provider.

Government charge: The official eVisa fee is determined through Türkiye's eVisa application system and should be checked when applying because applicable charges can change.

Service charges: TurkeyImmigration.org is a private service and charges separately for application assistance. Its current fee page lists Pakistan's single-entry 30-day product with a US$95 “Government & Admin Fee” and separate service fees starting from US$69 for an individual using normal processing, with different charges for expedited services and group applications.

The site's “Government & Admin Fee” should not be confused with a pure government fee because it is described as including the official eVisa charge plus administrative and payment-related costs. Final charges depend on the application and options selected.

For current pricing, check applicable Turkey visa fees before payment.

What If You Are Not Eligible for a Turkey eVisa?

Pakistani citizens who do not meet the conditional eVisa requirements should use the appropriate regular Turkish visa route.

For example, if you do not have a valid Schengen, U.S., U.K. or Irish visa or residence permit, you should not submit a conditional eVisa application by declaring that you meet a requirement you do not satisfy.

Instead, check the applicable visa procedure through a Turkish embassy or consulate. Regular visa requirements depend on the purpose of travel and individual circumstances.

Travelers planning to work, study or reside in Türkiye also need the appropriate non-eVisa route, even if they otherwise meet the conditions for a tourist/business eVisa.

Turkey eVisa FAQs for Pakistani Citizens

Can Pakistani citizens apply for a Turkey eVisa?

Yes. Pakistani ordinary-passport holders can obtain a Turkey eVisa if they have a valid Schengen, U.S., U.K. or Irish visa or residence permit and meet the other applicable eVisa conditions. The eVisa route is intended for tourism or business travel.

Can I get a Turkey eVisa with a U.S. visa on a Pakistani passport?

Yes, a valid U.S. visa can serve as a supporting document for an eligible Pakistani ordinary-passport holder. You must still meet the remaining Turkey eVisa requirements and the supporting document must be valid when you enter Türkiye.

Can I use a U.K. residence permit to apply for a Turkey eVisa?

A valid U.K. residence permit is an accepted type of supporting document for the conditional eVisa route for Pakistani ordinary-passport holders. The same supporting-document category includes qualifying documents from Schengen countries, the United States and Ireland.

Is a Schengen eVisa accepted as a supporting document?

No. Where a supporting visa or residence permit is required, an eVisa issued by another country is not accepted as the supporting visa. Pakistani applicants should confirm that their supporting document meets the current official criteria before applying.

How long can Pakistani citizens stay in Türkiye with an eVisa?

An eligible Pakistani ordinary-passport holder receives a single-entry eVisa allowing a stay of up to 30 days. Do not treat the visa's overall validity window as permission to remain in Türkiye for that entire period.

Do Pakistani official-passport holders need a Turkey visa?

Pakistani official-passport holders are exempt from the visa requirement for travel to Türkiye for up to 90 days, according to the Turkish Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Ordinary Pakistani passports are subject to different rules.

Can Pakistani citizens use a Turkey eVisa for work or study?

No. Türkiye's eVisa is for tourism and commerce. Pakistani citizens traveling for work, study or another purpose outside the eVisa scope need to follow the appropriate visa procedure through Turkish authorities.

What happens if I do not have a Schengen, U.S., U.K. or Irish visa or residence permit?

An ordinary Pakistani passport holder who does not have the required supporting document does not meet this conditional eVisa route. The traveler should check the appropriate regular visa procedure with the relevant Turkish mission instead of submitting an eVisa application based on unmet conditions.

Do children with Pakistani passports need their own visa?

Each traveler must meet the entry-document requirements applicable to their own passport, including children. Parents should therefore check the visa or eVisa requirements for every child traveling to Türkiye rather than assuming that a parent's eVisa covers accompanying family members.

Does a Turkey eVisa guarantee entry for Pakistani travelers?

No. An issued eVisa authorizes travel under its stated conditions but does not guarantee admission to Türkiye. Turkish border authorities make the final entry decision, so travelers should carry the passport and supporting documents relevant to their eVisa eligibility.

Official information: Travelers can verify current legal eligibility through the Republic of Türkiye Ministry of Foreign Affairs or the official Türkiye eVisa portal.
