Turkey Visa Process Time
Now, it is time to wait for the Turkish visa. The Turkish visa process takes 15 working days because they receive too many visa applications. Sometimes visa applications can take 3 to 4 weeks depending on numerous factors such as verification from the Turkey Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Ankara.
I heard that Anatolia Travel Services send your visa application to Turkey’s Embassy or Consulate General in Pakistan. After that, Turkey Embassy or Consulate sends your visa application to Turkey at the Turkey Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Ankara.
I helped one of my friends to apply Turkey visa application who is in China. She submitted the documents to the Turkish Embassy in Beijing and after one month she got approval for a Turkish visa. Beijing embassy sends her document to Turkey she said. She went to Embassy in the morning and submitted her passport and got a visa in the evening on the same day.
Turkish visa fee from Pakistan
A piece of very sad news is sporting that the Turkish Embassy in Pakistan has increased the prices of Turkish visas. I contact here to Anatolia and they told me the Turkish visa fee from Pakistan is in USD but you have to pay in Cash according to that day’s conversion rate.
The new visa fee from Pakistan for a tourist visa is about USD 65 + 60 + 45 = USD 170 (Rs 46,500). Here, the visa fee is USD 65, the Anatolia Service fee is USD 60 and insurance charges USD 45.
This is too ridiculous to increase this such kind of visa fees and Anatolia service fees. Turkish Government should cut off Anatolia and insurance charges. The Canada visa fee is USD 155.
