QUICK ANSWER

How much does a Turkish business visa cost from Pakistan, and how long does it take?

The Turkish Embassy in Islamabad lists PKR 52,200 for a single-entry visa valid for 3 months, collected in cash by its visa centre and excluding GST, and PKR 98,600 for a 12-month multiple-entry visa. Pakistanis holding a valid Schengen, US, UK or Irish visa or residence permit can use the e-Visa instead, whose fee shows when you apply. No official processing time is published, so apply 3–5 weeks before travel.

Checked on the official sites on 13 October 2026. Fees and times change, so confirm them on the linked page before you pay. Visa centre charges and any consultant's fee are extra.

At a glance

What you are applying for

Turkey's business visa is its short-stay visa issued for a business purpose, and the embassy in Islamabad keeps separate document lists for business meetings, conferences and trade fairs. Pakistani applicants apply through the embassy's visa centres. If you already hold a valid Schengen, US, UK or Ireland visa or residence permit, you can use Turkey's one-month e-Visa instead, which is issued for tourism or commerce.

The business file is heavier than a tourist's. The embassy asks for an invitation from the Turkish company carrying its tax number, a chamber of commerce membership certificate and a recommendation letter from your chamber or trade association, tax certificates for you and the company, and signed and stamped bank statements for both. The e-Visa skips all of that — but only for passports that already carry one of the qualifying visas.

Most refusals come down to one of four

  1. An invitation with a tax number
  2. Documents for you and the company
  3. Stamped bank statements
  4. A purpose that is not work

Is this the right guide?

Who it is for

Applying on the wrong visa is one of the quickest ways to a refusal, so read both lists before anything else.

You’re in the right place if you are

  • A trader buying or selling with Turkey

    Traders buying from Turkish suppliers, and exporters meeting Turkish buyers.

  • At a trade fair or conference

    Exhibitors and visitors at trade fairs, conferences and seminars in Istanbul and elsewhere in Turkey.

  • Holding a qualifying visa, for the e-Visa

    Business travellers who already hold a valid Schengen, US, UK or Ireland visa or residence permit, for the e-Visa.

Step by step · with timings

How to apply, and how long it takes

In the order it happens. Each stage waits on the one before it, so the date you start decides the date you finish. Ranges, not promises — the mission owns the clock.

START TO FINISH3–5 weeksbefore travel
  1. Minutes to 1 day

    Check whether the e-Visa applies

    If your passport holds a valid Schengen, US, UK or Ireland visa or residence permit, you can apply online for a one-month, single-entry e-Visa, issued for tourism or commerce. If not, or if the trip needs longer, apply for the business visa.

  2. Get the invitation right

    Ask the Turkish company for an invitation that carries its tax number, lists everyone invited, and states the purpose, the dates and who pays for board and lodging. For a trade fair or conference, proof of attendance from the organiser does the same job.

  3. 1–2 weeks

    Build the Pakistani file

    The embassy wants tax certificates, bank statements and bank maintenance certificates for both you and the company, signed and stamped, and a chamber membership certificate with a recommendation letter. Chambers take time to issue letters, so start there.

  4. 1–2 weeks

    Complete the online form and book the visa centre

    Fill in the pre-application on Turkey's consular website, print and sign it, then book with Anatolia or Gateway. The embassy says appointments booked on the consular system itself are not valid.

  5. 5–15 working days

    Submit at the visa centre

    Hand in the originals at the centre, where you also complete a visa interview form. Keep the receipt and track the application through the centre.

  6. Travel

    Carry the invitation, your insurance and your return ticket. At the border your passport must be valid for at least 60 days beyond the end of your stay.

Why Turkey business visa applications are refused

The grounds that come up most on files from Pakistan. Most of them can be dealt with before you submit.

  • The e-Visa without a qualifying visa

    Using the e-Visa when your other visa has expired or is not one of the qualifying kinds.

  • An invitation the embassy cannot verify

    An invitation without the Turkish company's tax number and details, or one the embassy cannot verify.

  • Documents missing for either of you

    Tax or bank documents missing for either you or the company — the embassy asks for both.

  • Thin or unstamped statements

    Bank statements too thin for the trip, or not signed and stamped by the bank.

  • Reservations that do not match

    Reservations whose dates do not match the invitation.

  • A purpose that is really work

    A purpose that is really installation, repair or other work.

  • An unexplained earlier refusal

    A previous Schengen or Turkish refusal left unexplained.

  • Already been refused?

    Send us the refusal letter before you do anything else. It states the grounds, and they decide whether applying again is worth it or would just cost you the fee a second time.
