OBTAINING VISA TO TURKEY AT

THE EMBASSY OF THE REPUBLIC OF TURKEY IN OTTAWA

Due to the high volume of applications for Turkish visas, the Consular Section is not in a position to provide a specific duration for visa processing. Therefore we strongly suggest that you apply for visas, well before (e.g. one month) the planned visit to Turkey. As the visas are valid for 3 months from the date of issue, applications must be made no earlier than 3 months before your planned traveling date to Turkey. If you are the citizen of a country for whom visa can be issued at the point of entry in Turkey, it is highly recommended to obtain visa at the point of entry

Canadian ordinary passport holders also can obtain a visa from the Turkish Embassy in Ottawa at a cost of CAD$ 75.00 for a single entry or CAD$ 206.00 for multiple entries both valid for 90 days. Visas are valid for 90 days from the date of issue. The visa fee is applied per person, not per passport, and applies to children listed on parent's passport. (Visa fee for the citizens of all other countries is subject to change)

The validity period of the passport should cover at least six months from the date of the issuance of the visa.

The following are required from Canadian citizens if they choose to obtain their visas from this Embassy, prior to their departure.

· Passport (original)

· Fee: CAD$ 75.00 (single entry) / CAD$ 206.00 (multiple entry) as a money order payable to “Turkish Embassy”. Personal cheques are not accepted. Cash is accepted when the application is made in person
