Turkey Tourist Visa for Bangladeshi Citizens

Bangladeshi nationals planning to visit Turkey for tourism must secure a visa prior to their trip. Depending on specific criteria, travelers can opt for an e-Visa or a traditional sticker visa.

e-Visa Eligibility and Application

Bangladeshi citizens who hold a valid visa or residence permit from the United States, the United Kingdom, Ireland, or any Schengen Area country are eligible to apply for a Turkish e-Visa. This e-Visa permits a single entry and allows a stay of up to 30 days within a 180-day period. The application process is entirely online and can be completed through the official Turkish e-Visa portal:

Requirements for e-Visa Application

Applicants must provide:

Valid Passport: With at least six months' validity from the intended date of entry into Turkey.

Existing Visa or Residence Permit: A valid visa or residence permit from the U.S., U.K., Ireland, or a Schengen country.

Travel Details: Confirmed flight reservations and hotel bookings.

Financial Proof: Evidence of sufficient funds to cover expenses, typically at least $50 per day.

Payment Method: A valid credit or debit card to pay the e-Visa fee.

Sticker Visa Application

For Bangladeshi travelers who do not possess a valid visa or residence permit from the specified countries, a sticker visa is required. This visa must be obtained through the Turkish Embassy or Consulate in Bangladesh. The application process involves submitting the following documents:

Visa Application Form: Completed and signed.

Photographs: Two recent passport-sized photos with a white background.

Valid Passport: With at least six months' validity from the intended date of entry and at least two blank pages.

Travel Itinerary: Detailed plan including flight and accommodation bookings.

Sticker Visa: Processing usually takes between 5 to 10 business days. Fees can range from $60 to $120, depending on the specifics of the visa.

Important Considerations

Validity: Tourist visas generally allow stays up to 30 days within a 180-day period.

Extensions: Extensions are not permitted; travelers must depart Turkey before the visa expires.

Multiple Entries: e-Visas issued to Bangladeshi nationals are typically single-entry.
