Interpretation of the latest Turkish entry policy in 2023 requires a detailed analysis of the specific situation. The following is an analysis of it: Chinese citizens are not exempt from applying for a Turkish visa. The current procedures are very simple and the visa is issued quickly. You can directly apply for an electronic visa online.

It usually takes 48 hours for the Turkish embassy to apply for an electronic visa on its own. If you apply for it through a travel agency, the travel agency usually needs 1-2 working days to prepare for the operation.

Warm reminder: The validity period of Turkish visa is a six-month single visa (specifically subject to the issuance by the embassy), which can stay for 30 days.

Applying for a visa generally requires the following procedures:

(1) Submit a valid passport.

(2) Submit various documents related to the application, such as certificates about your birth, marital status, education, work experience, etc.

(3) Fill in and submit the visa application form. Different visas have different forms. Most of them need to be filled in in foreign languages ??and provide personal photos.

(5) The embassy or consulate will submit the completed visa application forms and necessary supporting materials to the domestic competent department for review and approval. The embassies and consulates of a few countries have the right to issue visas directly, but they still have to report it to the country for filing.

(6) After going to the country’s competent authorities for necessary review, notify the embassy or consulate in that country of the review and approval opinions. If agreed, a visa will be issued. If rejected, the applicant will also be notified. (For visa refusal, the embassy and consulate will not refund the visa fee)

There are also some countries that only charge the fee when the visa application is successful. Generally speaking, immigrant visa fees are slightly higher and non-immigrant visa fees are slightly lower. There are also some countries and regions where visas are free.
