Visa Information For Foreigners

The Electronic Visa (e-Visa) Application System was launched on 17 April 2013 by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Türkiye. This system allows visitors travelling to Türkiye to easily obtain their e-Visas online (www.evisa.gov.tr), in approximately three minutes.

It is possible to obtain e-Visa 7/24 at everywhere with internet connection. The applicants can obtain their visa after they fill in the necessary information concerning their identity, passport and travel dates and pay visa fee online.

Please note that e-visa is only valid when the purpose of travel is tourism or commerce. For other purposes, such as work and study, visas are given by Turkish Embassies or Consulates.
The term "official passports" covers diplomatic, service, special and official passports.

You are kindly advised to have a travel document/passport valid for at least 6 months as from the date of your arrival in Türkiye.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs continues efforts to strengthen the e-Visa system and to better enable foreign nationals to easily obtain their visas.

In this context,

- In addition to English, French, and Spanish; Dutch, Norwegian, Polish, German, Arabic and Chinese language options will be added to the e-Visa system.

- In addition to Visa and Master Card, payment is accepted from other commonly used credit cards and debit cards.

- Tour operators may apply for group e-Visas and make lump sum payments for them.

- Necessary arrangements will be made to allow foreign visitors to obtain e-Visas from authorized airline companies offices, including those companies’ offices in airports.

- Fees for e-Visas obtained via the e-Visa website (www.evisa.gov.tr) are lower than the fees for visas obtained upon arrival to Turkish airports. Information regarding visa fees can be found on the website of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Criminal Background: Having a criminal record or being involved in illegal activities can result in your visa being rejected on security grounds.
Weak Ties to Home Country: If authorities believe you lack strong ties to your home country, you might be seen as a potential overstay risk. Highlight connections like family, job, property, or other commitments that ensure your return.
Lack of Purpose: Failing to clearly explain the purpose of your visit and how it aligns with your itinerary can raise suspicions.
Employment without Proper Authorization: If your visa category prohibits employment, but the embassy suspects that you intend to work during your stay, you risk losing your visa privileges.

Turkey Visa Requirements for Saudi Residents and Citizens in 2023

Saudi travelers have two main options when applying for a Turkish visa.

Turkey Visa Application Centres: Depending on your passport, you may need to obtain a Turkish Tourist Visa through the Turkey Visa Application Centre. You can visit the Visa Application Center if your passport isn't eligible for an e-visa.
E-visa: Alternatively, you can apply for a Turkey e-visa online.

Turkey E-Visa From Saudi Arabia

The most convenient way to apply for a Turkish visa is through the e-visa system . However, checking your eligibility is crucial as this service is valid for a select number of passports.

You'll need several documents to apply for a Turkey visa from Saudi Arabia. These may include a valid passport, accommodation and flight bookings, health insurance, proof of financial security, residency, and other documents such as proof of accommodation.

Best Time To Visit Turkey

The most pleasant times to travel from Saudi Arabia to Turkey are between April to May and September to October. During these periods, the weather is ideal for sightseeing and exploring. Moreover, these are off-peak tourist seasons, meaning fewer crowds and potentially lower costs.

The peak tourist season runs from June to August. You might even bump into a fellow Saudi traveler if you visit Turkey during Eid! Turkey's low season falls between November and March. Despite the cold, it's an excellent opportunity for budget travel and exploring ski resorts!

Here's an overview of Turkey's climate throughout the year.

Spring (April To May)

During these months, Turkey is alive with the vibrant hues of blooming flowers and pleasant weather. The majority of the country, including Istanbul, is stunning in spring, but a word of caution: some resorts on the Turquoise Coast may still be closed following the winter season. The International Istanbul Film Festival takes place in April, followed by the Hidrellez Festival in May, an event that celebrates the arrival of spring with traditional music.

Summer (June To August)

This period sees the highest temperatures and tourist influx. Visitors from all around the world come to Turkey to spend their summer holidays. The heat is intense inland, but the coastal regions offer a more comfortable climate. Enjoy true summer vibes at the beach, and make sure to attend the Aspendos International Opera and Ballet Festival.

Fall (September To October)

Expect shorter, cooler days! This is the perfect season to explore Turkey's rich cultural heritage along the Silk Route or trek the Lycian Way. But remember that the Kurban Bayrami holiday in early September brings an influx of local tourists.

Winter (November To March)

Winter is generally considered the off-peak season due to the chilly weather, except in the southeastern areas near Antalya. Although you might not be able to get a tan, it's an excellent time for skiing, especially in places like Erzurum or Kartepe. Moreover, the cities, particularly Istanbul, are quieter and more relaxed. If you plan a December visit, don't miss the Mevlana and Whirling Dervish Festival in Konya.

‘Don’t send beggars’: Saudi Arabia asks Pakistan to prevent beggars under Umrah visa

Saudi authorities have warned pakistan that if the situation is not controlled, there are chances that it might have a negative impact on pakistan’s umrah and hajj pilgrims..

In an embarrassing situation for Pakistan, Saudi Arabia has raised concerns about the number of beggars arriving in the Kingdom from Islamabad under the pretense of religious pilgrimage.

In a report, Pakistani newspaper the Express Tribune quoted sources from Pakistan’s Ministry of Religious Affairs and stated that the Saudi authorities have warned Pakistan that if the situation is not controlled, there are chances that it might have a negative impact on Pakistan’s Umrah and Hajj pilgrims.

“The Saudi Ministry of Hajj has issued a warning to Pakistan’s Ministry of Religious Affairs, urging action to prevent Pakistani beggars from entering the kingdom under Umrah visas,” the report added.

In response to Saudi Arabia’s concerns, Pakistan’s Ministry of Religious Affairs has decided to enact an “Umrah Act” which will govern the travel agencies which are involved in facilitating the trips of Umrah and bring them under the purview of a legal framework with an oversight of government.

Pakistan’s Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi held a meeting with Saudi Arabia’s Ambassador Nawaf bin Said Ahmed Al-Malki and ensured that strict measures would be in place to counter the mafia sending beggars to Saudi Arabia.

News agency PTI reported, “Pakistani beggars travel to the Middle East under the guise of ziarat (pilgrimage). Most people visit Saudi Arabia on Umrah visas and then indulge in begging-related activities, Secretary Overseas Pakistanis Zeeshan Khanzada said last year.”

Pakistan’s Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) has been given the responsibility to crack down upon the network of beggars being sent to Saudi Arabia which Minister Mohsin said is damaging Pakistan’s image.

‘Shaandaar Saudi’: Saudi Arabia’s New Campaign to Attract Indian Tourists

Peden Doma Bhutia , Skift

September 24th, 2024 at 4:29 PM EDT

With a goal of attracting 150 million tourists by 2030, where else would Saudi Arabia look if not to the world’s most populous country?

Peden Doma Bhutia

How does the new campaign facilitate visa processes and special travel offers for Indian tourists?
What specific destinations in Saudi Arabia are being highlighted to appeal to different segments of Indian travelers?
How does Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030 plan relate to its new tourism campaign for Indian visitors?

Select a question above or ask something else

Saudi Arabia launched a campaign called 'Shaandaar Saudi' to attract Indian tourists as part of its Vision 2030 plan.
The campaign promotes Indian-friendly culinary options, unique destinations, and facilitates easier visa processes.
Special travel offers and increased air connectivity aim to make Saudi Arabia a year-round destination for Indian travelers.

Saudi Arabia has introduced the 'Shaandaar Saudi' campaign to attract Indian tourists as part of its Vision 2030 plan to diversify its economy. The campaign highlights Indian-friendly culinary options, unique destinations, and streamlined visa processes to make Saudi Arabia an appealing year-round destination. Special travel offers and improved air connectivity are also part of the strategy to draw Indian visitors.

Saudi Arabia has launched its first-ever marketing campaign targeted exclusively at Indian tourists: “Shaandaar (Spectacular) Saudi.”

Unveiled in Mumbai on Tuesday, the campaign highlights Saudi Arabia as a year-round destination for Indian families, culture enthusiasts, adventurers, and food lovers.

Bringing in Indian tourists is an important part of Saudi’s Vision 2030, a plan to diversify the economy and attract 150 million visitors by the end of the decade. Saudi aims to bring in 7.5 million visitors from India alone.

Recognizing the importance of food in travel decisions, the new campaign promotes a range of Indian restaurants as well as vegetarian-friendly options – essential for many Indian travelers.

“Food plays a significant role in travel, and we want to ensure that Indian tourists feel at home in Saudi Arabia,” said Anand Menon, vice president of trade and distribution, Asia Pacific for the Saudi Tourism Authority.

In addition to the culinary experience, Saudi Arabia is promoting destinations like Diriyah, Red Sea, Jeddah, AlUla, and Riyadh. Each offers unique attractions that appeal to different segments of Indian travelers, from its ancient temples to its futuristic cities.

Menon also mentioned the creation of unique experiences specifically designed for Indian tourists, highlighting its hospitality, festivals, and the variety of activities available throughout the year.

Visa Facilitation and Special Travel Offers

The “Shaandaar Saudi” campaign aims to make travel to Saudi Arabia easier for Indians. During the campaign’s immersive 8-day showcase in Mumbai, Tasheer kiosks allow visitors to apply for Saudi visas on the spot, with processing times of just 48 hours. The kingdom currently has 11 such Tasheer centers across India.

Indian travelers holding valid visas for U.S., UK, or Schengen countries, are also eligible for eVisas and visa-on-arrival at Saudi airports. Additionally, travelers on Saudi carriers Saudia and Flynas can take advantage of a free stopover visa, valid for up to 96 hours, which can be applied for up to 90 days in advance.

Saudi Arabia’s air connectivity has significantly increased in recent years, further easing travel for Indians. Currently, 330 direct weekly flights connect 12 major Indian hubs to Saudi’s main cities, Riyadh, Jeddah, and Dammam, operated by 8 airlines.

As part of the campaign’s promotional push, Saudia is also offering Indian travelers special deals, including a “buy one, get 50% off” offer on business class tickets and a 15% discount on all economy class fares.

The campaign comes on the heels of a meeting between the Indian tourism minister and his Saudi counterpart, aimed at deepening tourism ties between the two nations. A key point of discussion was the development of youth training and development initiatives to support the growth of the tourism sector in both countries.

Tapping into India’s Growing Middle Class

One of the key reasons Saudi Arabia is focusing on India is the rapid rise of the Indian middle class . With 65% of the population under 35, this demographic represents an increasingly mobile and affluent segment that seeks new travel experiences.

India’s middle class will make up 60% of the population by 2047. By mid-century, around 1 billion middle-class citizens will drive India’s growth, making it an ideal market for tourism-driven economies like Saudi Arabia.

Big embarrassment for Pakistan, Saudi Arabia warns Islamabad to 'stop sending beggars' under Umrah visas

Pakistani beggars travel to the middle east under the guise of ziarat (pilgrimage) and are also involved in pickpocketing activities. saudi authorities warned islamabad that if the situation is not controlled, it could negatively affect pakistani umrah and hajj pilgrims..

Citing sources from the Pakistani Ministry, the Express Tribune reported that Saudi authorities have raised concerns about the growing number of Pakistani beggars arriving in Saudi Arabia on Umrah visas. The ministry warned that if the situation is not controlled, it could negatively affect Pakistani Umrah and Hajj pilgrims.

In response, Pakistan has decided to introduce an "Umrah Act", which aims to regulate travel agencies facilitating Umrah trips in order to bring them under legal oversight. The ministry has also reached out to the Pakistani government to find ways to prevent beggars from travelling to Saudi Arabia under the guise of religious pilgrimage.

Earlier, Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi assured Saudi Ambassador Nawaf bin Said Ahmed Al-Malki that strict measures would be implemented against those responsible for sending beggars to the Gulf nation. Pakistan's Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) has been taken with cracking down on the network, which Mohsin said was damaging the country's reputation.

Furthermore, the issue was also highlighted by Arshad Mahmood, Secretary of Overseas Pakistanis, during a Senate Standing Committee meeting on Overseas Pakistanis. He highlighted that several Gulf countries have expressed concerns regarding the behaviour of overseas Pakistanis, particularly in areas of work ethics, attitudes, and involvement in criminal activities.

Mahmood said these activities are reportedly affecting the reputation of Pakistani workers abroad, leading to increased scrutiny from Gulf employers and authorities. Last month, the FIA offloaded 11 alleged beggars from a Saudi Arabia-bound flight at Karachi airport. During the immigration process, FIA officials questioned the passengers, who admitted that their purpose for visiting Saudi Arabia was to beg.

Saudi Arabia had previously expressed concerns over the matter, saying a majority of people who travel to the Kingdom are involved in either begging or pickpocketing. Saudi Arabia told the Pakistani officials that the majority of the pickpockets arrested from within Makkah's grand mosque are Pakistani nationals. In September last year, 16 beggars disguised as pilgrims were offloaded from a Saudi Arabia-bound flight and arrested for trying to travel to the Gulf Kingdom to indulge in begging.

Why beggars flying to beg abroad have Pakistanis worried

The world is flustered as beggars from Pakistan flood its cities. Saudi Arabia this week asked Pakistan to prevent beggars from misusing Umrah visas to reach the holy cities of Mecca and Medina for begging. This trend of beggars abusing visas to beg in foreign countries has Pakistan and its genuine Pakistani visa-seekers worried.

Pakistani beggars are using pilgrimage visas and flying to beg in foreign countries
Saudi Arabia warned Pakistan to ensure such abuse of Umrah visas are stopped
Abuse of visas has increased scrutiny and rejections for even genuine travellers

That worry isn't misplaced. Saudi Arabia's Ministry of Religious Affairs warned that if the situation wasn't controlled, it could negatively affect Pakistani Umrah and Hajj pilgrims, Pakistan's Express Tribune reported on Tuesday.

That Saudi Arabian streets are teeming with Pakistani beggars is visible to everyone.

She calls the beggars "master manipulators who know how to pull at their victims’ guilt and get them to part with their money".

It's not just Saudi Arabia, Pakistani beggars are found in several Middle East countries, including the UAE.

Last September, Secretary of Overseas Pakistanis, Zeeshan Khanzada said that 90% of all beggars detained in West Asian nations were from Pakistan.

MAFIA NETWORK BEHIND EXPORT OF BEGGARS

That this isn't the work of individuals but involves a well-oiled machinery was revealed by Pakistani Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi.

Naqvi, in a meeting with Saudi Ambassador Nawaf bin Said Ahmed Al-Malki, said strict measures would be taken against mafia responsible for sending beggars to Saudi Arabia.

Pakistan has tasked the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) with cracking down on this network that sends beggars abroad.

An FIA officer told Dawn that immigration officers at Pakistan's international airports are extra cautious about passengers who travel frequently to the Middle East for short durations.

"In case of suspicion, travellers are off-loaded from aeroplanes," said the FIA officer.

VISA DENIALS BECAUSE OF PAKISTANI BEGGARS

The beggars aren't just a problem for pilgrims in Saudi Arabia or people in other Middle Eastern countries, they are a big headache now for Pakistanis as well.

This comes amid an economic crisis in Pakistan, and record number of people looking for employment overseas legally.

"Legitimate travellers, students and workers who apply for proper visas must suffer the extra scrutiny at foreign embassies and frequent denial of visas," writes Rafia Zakaria in Dawn.

Zakaria says that millions of Pakistanis who would never even think of begging abroad are stuck at home with their green passports because of some wrongdoers.

In a report in August, Dawn quoted travel agents saying that the UAE had actively started declining visas to Pakistanis without "enough money in their accounts to prove them as genuine visitors”.

They said it would affect genuine travellers from Pakistan who travel to the UAE for visas to Western and African nations, which have their embassies in the UAE and operate from there.

That genuine Pakistanis are facing and would face more problems with their visa approvals is anyone's guess.

This is also because Pakistan wants Middle Eastern and Gulf countries to tighten their visa scrutiny to stop the import of Pakistani beggars.

"These countries should also look into their visa processing system instead of just pressing Pakistani authorities to stop potential beggars, criminals and illegal immigrants," a senior FIA officer told Dawn.

There were also reports in July by Geo News on how employers in Gulf nations now preferring to hire workers from other regional countries, like Bangladesh, instead of Pakistan. That was because of the "deplorable standard of Pakistani workforce".
