How to Get a Turkey Visa from Palestine
Palestinian citizens who wish to travel to Turkey can apply for a visa through two primary routes:
1. Turkey e-Visa
Turkey offers an e-Visa system that allows eligible travelers to obtain their visa online without visiting the embassy or consulate in person. Here’s how it works:
- Application Process:
- Complete the secure online application form with personal and passport details.
- Pay the visa fees using a credit or debit card (Visa, Mastercard, or UnionPay).
- Receive the e-Visa via email, which can be printed or stored digitally for presentation upon arrival in Turkey.
- Processing Time:
- Normal Service: 3 business days
- Urgent Service: within 24 hours
- Super Urgent Service: within 5 hours for emergency situations.
- e-Visa Cost for Palestinians:
- Government & Admin Fee: USD 55 for a single-entry visa valid for a 30-day stay.
- Service Fees: These vary depending on processing speed and range from approximately USD 55–99 for individuals, with discounts for groups.
- Important Notes:
- Passport validity must extend at least 60 days beyond the visa’s validity period.
- Each traveler, including infants and children, needs a separate e-Visa.
- Travelers from Palestine are required to fly with airlines that have agreements with the Turkish Foreign Ministry, such as Turkish Airlines, AJet, Pegasus Airlines, or Onur Air.
Tip: It’s advisable to apply for your e-Visa at least 48 hours before your travel date to avoid last-minute issues.
2. Visa Application through the Embassy
If you are not eligible for an e-Visa (for example, traveling for purposes other than tourism or business), or if you prefer the traditional process, you can apply directly at the Turkish Embassy in Palestine. This may be necessary for:
- Student visas
- Work visas
- Long-term stays exceeding the e-Visa limits
- Residence permits
To apply at the embassy:
- Schedule an appointment via email or phone.
- Prepare the required documents specific to your visa category.
- Submit your application and pay the applicable fees.
Contact the embassy for updated requirements and application forms.
Additional Useful Information

- Airline Restrictions: Citizens of Palestine must travel with certain airlines to be eligible for entry under an e-Visa.
