Turkish passport holders can travel to Pakistan with an e-visa, which you must apply for online before you fly. The process is straightforward and typically takes a few business days, so plan ahead.
Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Pakistan eVisa (online application)You need to get this visa online before you fly – it cannot be obtained on arrival. Apply before travel | Turkish citizens must obtain an eVisa prior to arrival. Apply through the official Pakistan visa portal, pay the fee, and receive the approved eVisa by email. The eVisa is not extendable. | Required |
| Passport validityCheck your passport expiry – if it's less than 6 months away, renew it before you travel. At least 6 months | Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your intended date of entry into Pakistan. | Required |
| Blank passport pagesMake sure there's an empty page in your passport for the border officer to stamp. At least 1 page | Your passport must have at least 1 blank page for the entry stamp. | Required |
| Return or onward ticketHave your flight booking ready – they may ask to see it at the border. Proof of departure | Immigration may ask to see a confirmed return or onward flight ticket showing you will leave Pakistan before your visa expires. | Required |
| Proof of fundsIt's a good idea to carry proof that you can support yourself during your trip. Sufficient for stay | Be prepared to show evidence of sufficient funds (e.g., bank statements, credit cards) to cover your stay in Pakistan. | Recommended |
| Arrival declarationYou don't need to fill out any arrival form – just go through immigration as usual. Not required | No arrival declaration is required for Turkish citizens entering Pakistan. | Not required |
Apply early — don't risk it
Even though processing is usually quick, delays happen. Apply at least 10 days before your flight to avoid last-minute panic. Also, double-check that your name on the e-visa matches your passport exactly — any mismatch can get you denied entry.
Single entry only
Your e-visa is for one entry. If you plan to visit Pakistan, then hop to another country and come back, you'll need a new e-visa. Plan your itinerary accordingly.
What happens at the border
1
Apply for e-visa online
Go to the Pakistan Online Visa System (visa.nadra.gov.pk), create an account, fill in the application form, upload a recent passport-style photo and a scan of your passport's bio page, and pay the fee online. Processing typically takes 3-5 business days, but apply at least a week before your trip to be safe.
2
Receive and print your e-visa
Once approved, you'll get an email with your e-visa document. Print it out — you'll need a physical copy to show at check-in and at immigration. Also save a digital copy on your phone as backup.
3
Arrive at the airport in Pakistan
At major airports like Islamabad (ISB), Karachi (KHI), or Lahore (LHE), head to the immigration counter. Present your passport, printed e-visa, and boarding pass. The officer will check your details and stamp your passport. Have your return ticket and proof of funds ready in case they ask.
4
Enter and enjoy your stay
After clearing immigration, collect your luggage and proceed through customs. Your e-visa is valid for a single entry, so don't leave Pakistan and try to re-enter on the same visa.

Frequently asked questions
Yes, but it's an e-visa, not a traditional visa. You apply online before you travel, and it's usually approved within a few business days. You don't need to visit an embassy.
The e-visa typically allows a stay of up to 30 days. It's a single-entry visa, so if you leave Pakistan, you'll need to apply for a new one to re-enter.
The fee varies depending on the visa type and processing speed. Standard processing is around $25–$40, but check the official portal for the exact amount at the time of application. Payment is made online.
Processing usually takes 3–5 business days, but it can take longer during peak times or if additional documents are requested. Apply at least a week before your intended travel date to avoid stress.
No, the e-visa is not extendable. If you need to stay longer, you must leave Pakistan and apply for a new visa, or check with the nearest immigration office before your visa expires — but overstaying is not advisable and can lead to fines.
You won't be allowed to board your flight — airlines check visa status before departure. There's no visa-on-arrival for Turkish citizens, so you must have the e-visa approved before you fly.
Yes, the e-visa is valid for entry at all international airports and land border crossings that process immigration. Just make sure you use the same passport you applied with.
