Turkey Visa For Indians

Turkey is a beautiful country offering a mix of history, culture, and authentic beauty. It is a popular spot among tourists, offering a wide range of places and things to explore. Turkish people are very friendly and hospitable, which makes the visitors feel welcomed and comfortable. However, to visit this amazing country and stay there for more than 30 days, you need a Turkey visa for Indians. The country offers different types of visas for various travel reasons, including work, study, tourism, and business. We currently at Visament offer assistance with two types of visas that are a Turkey tourist visa for Indians and a Turkey business visa.

Turkey Business Visa

A Turkish business visa permits an individual to travel to Turkey to conduct business activities such as attending meetings, conferences, seminars, and negotiations. Generally, citizens of some countries, including India, need to apply for a business visa before visiting Turkey for business purposes. This visa is either available as a sticker visa with a maximum stay permit of up to 90 days within a period of 180 days or an e-visa with a maximum stay permit of up to 30 days within a period of 180 days.

Turkey Tourist Visa

A Turkey tourist visa for Indians is an official permission that allows an international traveler to enter and stay in Turkey for tourism-related purposes. A person can explore the country, visit friends and family, explore attractions, and engage in activities related to tourism for a specific period of time. There are two types of Turkey tourist visas for Indians available, which are:

• Turkish E-visa: A Turkish e-visa is a single-entry permit visa that is valid for a period of 30 days. It is mainly issued for tourism and transit.
• Turkish Sticker Visa: The Turkish sticker visa has a validity of 90 days with a multiple entry permit. It is issued for tourism and other purposes.

• Consider these things when applying for a Turkey visa from India to enjoy a smooth and hassle-free journey:
• Be in good health and have a good moral character with a clear background.
• Understand and respect the general rules and moral standards of the country.
• Apply at least 60 days before your planned travel date to avoid any kind of delays.
• Ensure that your passport has a validity of at least six months beyond your planned stay in Turkey and has some blank pages for visa stamping.
• Have evidence of either a return or an onward flight ticket, proving your intent to leave Turkey after the visit.
• Provide only accurate and complete information. Do not add any information that could be interpreted as disrespect or bias.
• Prove to the immigration officer that you will leave the country before the expiry of your Turkish visa. Convince that you have a family, assets, friends, etc., that would act as an incentive to go back to your home country.
• Provide evidence of enough financial resources to cover your expenses during your stay in the country. The amount may vary depending on the duration of your stay and whether you will stay with your friends, relatives, family, or in any paid accommodation.
• Ensure your visa photo is according to the Turkey visa photo requirements, i.e., a colored photograph, with clear visibility of your face, and in the mentioned size. Additionally, it should not be older than six months.

The Turkey visa price generally does not remain the same for every country and person. Several factors affect the cost of a visa, such as the applied visa type, age of the applicant, individual circumstances, and single or multiple entry. Considering this, at Visament, a Turkey tourist visa for a single entry costs Rs. 6814 per person, and a Turkey tourist e-visa for a single entry costs Rs. 4399 per person. Here, the price does not include the service charges of Visament to process your visa application. The amount of it also varies according to your applied visa type, situation, and visa services.

Turkey Visa Processing Time

Generally, when applying via Visament, you get your Turkey tourist visa within 12 business days and a Turkey tourist e-visa within 3 business days after the application submission. However, the processing time may vary due to increased volume of visa applications during the peak holiday season, individual circumstances, and requirements of any additional documents. To avoid this kind of situation, it is advisable to apply for your Turkey visa two months before your planned travel date. This provides your visa application with sufficient time to process. In addition, further helps in receiving your visa on time.
