The one official address

Türkiye's Consulate General in Rotterdam says evisa.gov.tr is the only official e-Visa page. It warns that pages copying the real site's visuals are not valid 1.

The Turkish Embassy in Islamabad gives the same address and warns about fraudulent websites offering e-Visas 2.

How the official application works

The portal asks for nationality, travel document and arrival date before it shows eligibility and price. The fee varies, so use the amount shown for your own document rather than a figure quoted by another site 3.

The official portal accepts listed card networks and emails the completed e-Visa. Keep the email and PDF for travel 3.

Checks before paying

  • Confirm the full address is evisa.gov.tr 1.
  • Enter your own document details to see the official fee 3.
  • Do not trust a copied flag, seal or page design 1.
  • Keep access to the email used for the application.
  • Use the official status page to verify a document obtained elsewhere 4.

If you used another site

Check the document through the official status route. A Turkish embassy advises travellers who bought through another provider to verify the e-Visa at evisa.gov.tr 4.

If no valid document exists, contact the provider and card issuer. Apply on the official portal only after checking, so you do not buy a duplicate.
