Hello Ma’am,
Pls advise as per recent scenario… travel insurance vfs karega ya khud karana padega and where we can insurance requirement
Insurance ke extra charges hota hai generally, please latest guidelines padh lijiye Kyuki mere time pe toh vo insurance nahi de rahe the
Is it necessary to go to submit documents in person or agent can submit on the behalf of mine? Is there any biometrics like finger prints done there?
Agent can submit but you will need to write a letter mentioning that you are authorising them to do so. No biometrics
@@meanderwander thanks)
GST certificate ko ye bhi likha along with Notary Mantralaya/MEA attestation. Ye karna padta hai?
Yeh recent change hoga kyuki thode mahine pehle Tak toh nahi tha. So I cannot say about it. 😅
Did you buy a ticket paying full ticket price or you booked the ticket ?
I didn’t have to as it was just after pandemic so they weren’t asking for confirmed flights for the visa
Get a refundable ticket for visa application. Get your final ticket after you get the visa.
I am applying sticker visa. Do I need to buy travel insurance by myself or is it included in the visa fees and VFS provides it at the time of appointment in Visa center?
If you read Documents required list then under travel insurance it is mentioned that "Travel insurance policy will be provided at the time of submission of Turkiye visa application centers"
You don’t need to anymore, at the time I applied, they weren’t including it in the fees so I bought it separately
Hey !!
In document checklist, first point is "Manually filled visa application" where can I get it from I didn't find any such document in their website, Can you please help me with this ?
Thanks !!
Visa application form website pe mil jayega. Uska aapko print nikalna hai then ballpen se fill karna hai
Has the visa fee/gateway fee increased? Any idea? I paid 18k
Yep, it’s been Increased to 18k this year 🙈🙈
Hii Mam
For turkey visitor visa kya Biometrics hote h ?
Nahi, not for turkey visa
Anyone facing supporting document expiry error for applying evisa using Schengen? If yes, has anyone resolved it?
It’s a new rule unfortunately. They released it 2 weeks back, you cannot apply for turkey Evisa unless your Schengen visa has validity of 180 days
@@meanderwander in that case what should I do? All tickets has been booked . Should I try sticker visa, around a month remaining
@@VoidCanvasArt Sorry, didn't get notification for this comment. Yes, you should apply for sticker visa as that gets approved in 4 working days usually.
@@meanderwander thanks, i hope i get it. Can you make a video on this new update?
@@VoidCanvasArt yes, I’ll be posting that soon, hopefully within next two weeks!
Downloading bank statements is fine or it should be approved by a bank official?
Should be signed by the bank official
Really liked ur emphasis on minute details, quite helpful, thanks!!
Glad you liked it. :)
Mam if we are student can i put my university leaving certificate and id card of university and 3 months bank statment beacuse its written in turkish visa form for student
Yes, you should
Hi, This is quite holistic explanation !
Can you please tell me which Forex/Credit Card did you use for transactions in Turkey ? Most of the cards do not have Lira as a currency to load. And Lira cash is rare in India as well.
I had used Thomas Cook Forex Card. But I found my ICICI debit card to be working fine there as well :)
@@meanderwanderwhat about hdfc?
Love you very ..good information nobody explained things like this
Glad you found it useful 😅
Is it the same process for 3months stay within 6 months duration? Thanks.
Sorry, didn’t get you?
@@meanderwander I wanted to know if the process is same for multiple entry visa where I can stay 90 days in 180 days period. Thank you.
@@John-qo9hw it is but chances of them giving a 90-day visa is low. You would need to show good bank balance and ties to your country else they might think you won’t ever come back 😅
How many days earlier can we apply for VISA? Can I apply for 30th Nov now?
Generally you can apply 3 months before the trip. Please call and check Gateway to confirm if you can apply now :)
Well expalined
Thank you :)
Surgery ke liye agar jaana cahe to kya tourist visa he lagega ya koi or...
And 3month se zyada stay karna ho to vo kaise hoga...
Vo dusra type ka visa hoga. AAP uske liye kisi travel agent se baat karo Kyuki main aapko sirf tourist visa ka hi bata sakti hun, medical visa ka nahi 😅
@@meanderwander 😅 thank you
Hi, what are dummy tickets ? And do they work?
They are ticket reservations that you haven’t fully paid for. Agents hold these ticket itineraries for a nominal price for a couple of days so the PNR is a valid. And yes, they generally work.
Hi Meander! I want to apply for turkey visa in December but I don't have ITR as I have just joined my first job in august 2022. My question is
1-) is it difficult to get tourist visa in this case If m traveling with my family from dubai
2-) can I get ITR now from my company?
In that case, you can just attach your joining letter and mention the same in cover letter that you recently started working so don't have ITR. They will focus on your salary slips, leave letter and bank balance in this case :)
@@meanderwander i worked as a chemical engineer for three years and last year i left my job.
I am freelancer now. What is the process for that?
@@vikashgupta4961 already mentioned it in the video :)
@@meanderwander Hi could you please tell me 3 answers
1-) how much time did it take for you to get the leave letter from company?
2-)Did you also get your payslips stamped by company? And from where did you get it stamped and how many days it took
3-)Also in how many days we can get appointment of Visa application?
@@divyagautam2983 I don’t work for a company Divya so I didn’t have leave letter or payslips to show. So this you need to check with your company as the timeline would differ.
Appointment you will have to check online as it will depend on how many applications they are receiving generally.
Hi , I have downloaded the visa form from gateway . I have one query there is one section at the end of the form “ gateway staff signature and VAC. I wanted to know before going to Vfs where should I get it signed
Or gateway signature is not needed .
You don't have to do anything in that. Just fill out details from your end, they will sign it at VFS itself
@@meanderwander thanks a lot .
I have one more question what about the covering letter . I am a homemaker do I need to provide this letter . Or it is not applicable for me .
My husband is bearing all my expenses ..should I get that letter attested as a proof for covering letter ?
Simple and informative !
Thank you :)
Can I apply for visa from a different jurisdiction ( I got my passport from Chattisgarh which comes under Hyderabad jurisdiction but I will be applying for visa from Kochi which comes under Mumbai jurisdiction )with the help of a cover letter?? Thanks
I don't know about this because the only time I had tried to do this, I did for Schengen visa and they told me I have to apply from the city that I have been staying for the past 6 months. So you will need to call up the Gateway customer care and ask them this 😅
Hi,
I am applying from Bangalore : gateway is charging 8800 for its fees for me and this is apart from courier charges and visa fees that we have to pay there. Is this correct? It’s very expensive.
Also for ITR is it ok to give form 16 for previous year. Or we to give ITR too?
Hey Vanshika,
Just checked on the website. They have updated the service fees this week. Which sucks but now the new service fees is 8800 INR. gatewayglobe.com/en/india/visa-fees-and-service-charges
It was 4500 till last week 🙈🙈🙈
And form 16 is for employment proof. ITR you will need to show separately.
Mam service fees mein insurance add hoti hai ??? Ya hame koi aur plan buy krna hota hai ??
@@amitkakkar87 generally service fees mein vo included nahi hota. But since gateway has increased the service fees for turkey, vo usmein insurance bhi de rahe hain. Toh aapko alag se nahi khareedna padega.
Mere to 17500 tak lag gaye
Hi @meander, The visa fees now are Rs 17000+ Its ridiculously high. Any cheaper alternative ?
Yeah, it’s increased now. 🙈 well the only alternative is Evisa that can be applied if you have US visa, Schengen Visa or UK visa 😅
Hello

Aapko cover letter mein dhang se sab mention karna padega then ke yeh documents kyun nahi hai
Hello I have applied for turkey tourist visa from Banglore how many days will it take?
Anywhere between 1-2 weeks.
Thanks for the replay, can we also track the visa status in vfsglobe?
@@ashishpandey444 yes you can. Aapki ek receipt mila hoga, usmein application number hoga vo use karke aap VFS ki website pe track kar sakte ho. There is an option of 'Track my application '.
hello , i am just a freelancer as i dont have any kinda registration since its a pure cash based business , i have 3yrs of ITR though , so will i be able to get tourist visa?
Yes, you should be, do mention that it’s a pure cash based business though if you cannot show bank transactions
What work address and contact details should one put if they're freelancers and currently not working - in the visa application form
Your home address
Hi,
I was told it will take 15-20 days to get a sticker visa to Turkey. I saw in this video description that it takes more than 5 days. Wondering which one is correct?
Where are you applying from? In Delhi, it takes 4 working days. Very rare cases in which it might take a longer time.
How much funds do you have to show for sticker visa?
You ll have to show like 50 USD per day per person for your trip
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ may Allah SWT bless Turkey and it's beautiful people from Pakistan 🙂🇵🇰🇹🇷🥰😍
Why didn't Allah bless Pakistan? And what about other countries? Is Allah biased?
I wish to travel for 21 days for tourist purposes with my wife. How much cash balance I should have in our bank accounts . Dep date end 30 September 2023 . Thanks .
I don’t know that, but generally it’s a good idea to show atleast 1-1.5 lakh in your account
What documents needed if traveling with kid?
Same as normal.
What if I don’t have itr? Please reply
You can still apply but you ll have to mention why you don’t have ITR and chances of approval kam hojata hai thoda
@@meanderwander but on the gateway document list it’s not mentioned itr any where.
So it was mentioned on yours document list or they asked you separately.

Agar aapke paas US UK Schengen ka visa nahi hai toh aapko turkey visa bohot mehenga padega. Isse better Kahin aur chali jaiye.
What funds was she referring to?
You need to show funds in you bank account for your turkey trip. Close to 50 USD per day. And need confirmed flight tickets and hotel bookings apart from that.

Mai Govt job krta visa mil ton skta mai
Thank you for all the much needed info..
The Visa fee for Single Entry Turkey Tourist Visa is showing 17335₹ thru Gateway Globe hence super expensive. Can I apply through atlys? Its costing ~8.8k. Is Atlys effective because I dont have much time.
It has increased now. Even if you do with Atlys, it will cost you 14k only because they can just get you an appointment, the official visa handling is done by Gateway only in INDIA.
What did you end up doing? I want to apply soon
Madam ne leave approval ka point aise ignore kiya jaise wo duniya mei hai hi nahi 🙂
Main freelancer hun bhaisaab, nahi chahiye mujhe leaves 😝😂
If i show just 7 days travel in visa application, will i only get visa for 7 days only?
It depends on them. They might give you 1 month but 90% of the time they will give visa for your exact dates.
@@meanderwander i have 23 days solo trip planned with flights booked. My visa agent has said that since i have never travelled to Europe/US/UK. My visa will be rejected if i show them my 23 days trip. So he will booked another dummy ticket of 7 days.. and based on that i will be granted visa. Then i can go on my original ticket and return on my original ticket. But what if i get visa only for 7 days? Matching the dummy tickets.., my 23 day trip will be cancel and i will have to reschedule my flights. 😕
@@meanderwander is it true my that my visa can be rejected if i show a solo travel to turkey for 23 days having no travel history of Europe/UK/USA..?
@@rayanhassan3795 not at all. When I applied for turkey visa, I hadn't traveled to Europe or UK and I was traveling solo. As long as you have all the documents to show you can fund your trip and have leave from your office, you will get the visa for 23 days by showing the actual plan.
@@rayanhassan3795 please don't listen to travel agents. They cannot guarantee you anything. 😅 Have you traveled to any other countries before?
I have my bank statement attested but my salary slip is e-slips but on Letter head without signature and stamp, will that work?
Haan that should be fine
Hi, It has been one month since you arrived in Turkey. That's where I live. I don't speak turkish, can you speak turkish if you are cold.
