Pakistani citizens travelling to Türkiye should confirm their visa route before booking a fixed itinerary. An ordinary Pakistan passport requires a visa. A short-stay eVisa may be available when the applicant also holds a valid Schengen, U.S., UK or Ireland visa or residence permit.
The supporting-document rule is the most important part of the Pakistan eVisa route. Make sure the document you rely on is valid and fits the current condition before you begin. The eVisa is for eligible short visitor travel, not paid employment, long-term study or residence.
Important: A valid Schengen, U.S., UK or Ireland visa or residence permit is central to the conditional eVisa route.
| Topic | What to know |
|---|---|
| Visa route | Conditional short-stay eVisa route |
| Entry type | Single entry when conditions are met |
| Stay guidance | One month is described in current country guidance |
| Travel purpose | Tourism, visiting friends or family, and eligible short business visits. |
| Normal processing | Approximately 19 hours for a complete VistoRoute application file. |
| Border decision | An eVisa supports travel but does not guarantee admission at arrival. |
Prepare the basic details before opening the application form. A complete and accurate file is easier to review and reduces avoidable delays.
Use the same ordinary passport for the application, booking and journey. A six-month validity buffer from arrival is a sensible travel precaution.
Use an email address you can access for confirmation, delivery instructions and application updates.
Keep a valid debit or credit card ready for the applicable application payment.
Keep the qualifying valid visa or residence permit accessible during application and travel preparation.
Confirm that your passport, travel purpose and planned dates fit the eVisa route before you start.
Enter your name, passport number, date of birth and travel details exactly as shown on your passport.
Review every field, complete payment and keep your confirmation and application reference in a secure place.
Processing expectations should be treated as estimates. They can change if information needs correction, payment verification is delayed or additional checks are required.
| Service option | Estimated timing | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Normal processing | Approximately 19 hours | Estimated VistoRoute service-processing time when your file is complete. This is not a visa-decision guarantee. |
| Priority document review | Availability varies | Contact support if your departure is close. A priority review can help identify missing information but cannot guarantee an eVisa outcome by a fixed deadline. |
Travel with the same passport used in your application. Keep your eVisa available in digital form and carry a printed backup where practical. Your accommodation details, return or onward travel plan and evidence that you can support the trip may be useful at check-in or arrival.
Your answers about the purpose and length of the trip should be consistent with the details in your application. An eVisa does not replace normal border checks.
