Before you dive into your Turkey eVisa application, it's worth going over exactly what documents you'll need. Getting it right on the first try saves you from delays and back-and-forth later.
Here's the short version of what you'll need:
A scanned copy of your passport bio page. Required for all applicants regardless of visa type.
Details from a valid residence permit or sticker visa - required only if your nationality demands it.
No matter your nationality, every Turkey eVisa applicant needs to submit a scanned copy of their passport's bio page. This applies whether you're applying for a tourist/business eVisa or an airport transit eVisa.

Important Note: Electronic visas (e-visas) themselves don't count as supporting documents here. You must possess a physical sticker visa or residence permit.
Your supporting document needs to have been issued by one of these:
Good news - you don't actually need to upload a scan of this supporting document. You just need to enter a few details about it into the application form:
Your passport needs to be valid for at least 6 months from your arrival date in Turkey.
Just two things: a scanned copy of your passport's bio page, and your flight ticket or reservation number for your onward journey. One condition applies here too - your final destination needs to be Colombia, Mexico, Panama, or Venezuela.
