Türkiye's Ministry of Foreign Affairs states that ordinary Pakistani passport holders need a visa, while official passport holders are visa-free for up to 90 days. There is one shortcut: a Pakistani with a valid Schengen, USA, UK or Ireland visa or residence permit can get a one-month single-entry e-Visa at evisa.gov.tr for tourism or commerce. Everyone else applies for a sticker visa, and since 20 February 2026 the Turkish Embassy in Islamabad accepts applications only through Anatolia Travel Services offices. The embassy's fee table starts at PKR 52,200 for a three-month single-entry visa, payable in cash and not refunded.

Istanbul's mosques and bazaars, the hot-air balloons over Cappadocia, the white terraces of Pamukkale and the Mediterranean coast around Antalya are the usual starting points for a trip to Türkiye. Ordinary Pakistani passports do not get visa-free entry. Türkiye's Ministry of Foreign Affairs states that ordinary Pakistani passport holders must have a visa, while holders of official passports may visit without one for up to 90 days.

Some travellers can skip the visa centre. If you hold a valid Schengen, USA, UK or Ireland visa or residence permit, the Ministry lets you apply online at evisa.gov.tr for a one-month, single-entry e-Visa. It covers tourism and commerce only. The supporting document must be valid on the day you enter Türkiye, another country's e-Visa does not qualify, and airlines and border officers check the original, so keep it with you. Use only the official evisa.gov.tr site; the embassy warns against copycat sites.

Everyone else needs a sticker visa. Start with a pre-application on the Turkish consular system, now reached through konsolosluk.gov.tr, then lodge your file in person. Since 20 February 2026 the Turkish Embassy in Islamabad has accepted visa applications exclusively through Anatolia Travel Services, which has offices in Islamabad, Lahore, Karachi, Peshawar, Sialkot, Gujranwala, Faisalabad and Hyderabad. The Ministry recommends applying at least one month before you plan to fly.

Fees are set in rupees and paid in cash. For a Pakistani passport, single entry costs PKR 52,200 for 3 months, PKR 58,000 for 6 months and PKR 63,800 for 12 months, and a 12-month multiple-entry visa costs PKR 98,600. A VIP service adds PKR 4,350, GST is charged on top, and nothing is refunded if the visa is refused. Every applicant needs medical insurance for the stay and proof of sufficient or regular income, and anyone under 18 needs written approval from both parents.

Your passport must remain valid for at least 60 days beyond the length of stay on your visa. Visits are capped at 90 days in any 180-day period, and stays beyond that require a short-term residence permit from the local migration directorate. A visa does not guarantee entry at the border, and Türkiye publishes no approval or refusal figures for Pakistani applicants, so a clear purpose and complete paperwork matter.

Quick answers

FAQ

Do Pakistanis need a visa for Turkey?

Yes, on an ordinary passport. Türkiye’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs says ordinary Pakistani passport holders must have a visa. Official passport holders are exempt for visits of up to 90 days.

Can Pakistanis get a Turkey e-Visa?

Only with a valid Schengen, USA, UK or Ireland visa or residence permit. In that case you can get a one-month, single-entry e-Visa at evisa.gov.tr. Without one of those, you need a sticker visa.

What counts as a valid supporting visa?

It must be a visa or residence permit from a Schengen country, the USA, the UK or Ireland, and its validity must cover the date you enter Türkiye. E-Visas from other countries are not accepted, and you should carry the original document, because airlines and Turkish immigration check it.

Can I use the e-Visa to study or work?

No. The e-Visa is valid only for tourism or commerce. Study, work and other purposes need a visa from a Turkish embassy or consulate.

Where do I apply for a sticker visa in Pakistan?

The Turkish Embassy in Islamabad says visa applications are received only through Anatolia Travel Services. Its offices are in Islamabad, Lahore, Karachi, Peshawar, Sialkot, Gujranwala, Faisalabad and Hyderabad.

How much does a Turkish sticker visa cost in Pakistan?

On a Pakistani passport, single entry costs PKR 52,200 for 3 months, PKR 58,000 for 6 months or PKR 63,800 for 12 months. A 12-month multiple-entry visa costs PKR 98,600. Pay in cash in rupees; the VIP option adds PKR 4,350 and GST is extra. The fee table is published by the Anatolia visa centre, so amounts may include its service charge; confirm the total when you book.

Is the fee refunded if my visa is refused?

No. The MFA states that visa fees are not refunded when an application is rejected, and the embassy’s fee table also marks all fees as non-refundable.

How long can I stay in Türkiye?

No more than 90 days in any 180-day period on a visa, and one month on the conditional e-Visa. For a longer stay you would need a short-term residence permit from the Provincial Directorate of Migration Administration.

How valid must my passport be?

Under Türkiye’s Law on Foreigners and International Protection, your passport must be valid for at least 60 days beyond your permitted stay. For a 30-day stay, that means at least 90 days of validity on arrival.

What should an invitation letter include?

The host’s Turkish ID number, full identity, address and phone number, the list of invitees, the purpose and length of the stay and your relationship. The host must also pledge to cover your food and accommodation. A company host adds its tax registration certificate.
