Turkey e-Visa Requirements for Citizens of Hong Kong

Applicants should read the  visa requirements for Hong Kong nationals before initiating the application process for the Turkey e-Visa. Hong Kong citizens should confirm they possess the following:

• Passport with a validity of 6 months or more on the date of arrival
• 2 blank pages available on the same passport
• Credit or debit card
• Email address

Hong Kong applicants must ensure their passport will be valid for at least 180 days (6 months) on Turkey’sarrival. They should also confirm it includes 2 blank pages for entry and exit stamps. If these requirements are not met, we recommend they renew their passports as soon as possible before applying for the e-Visa.

Since all the communications between them and the Turkish government will be carried out by email, we recommend providing an email address they frequently use. The Turkish government will communicate with Hong Kong travelers only by mail (including the confirmation and granting of the e-Visa).

Additionally, they should check the credit or debit card they will use to pay the e-Visa processing fee that is activated for international transactions.

Hong Kong nationals interested in traveling to Turkey for over 30 days or planning to relocate for job-seeking opportunities or academic purposes must schedule a visit to the Turkish General Consulate in Hong Kong for further details.

Hong Kong citizens who know their travel dates to Turkey can go ahead and fill in the online eVisa application form. It is an online questionnaire with straightforward questions that usually takes under an hour to complete. The application includes the following questions:

• Personal details (name, date of birth. nationality)
• Passport information (number, issue, and expiry date)
• Travel plans (dates of travel, tickets, accommodation address)

It is essential that Hong Kong requesters carefully read through their answers in the eVisa form. If they make any errors or mistakes, these cannot be edited once the form is delivered, and it may lead to delays with their approval.

They should also ensure they use the same passport during the application process as they will use during their visit to Turkey. This is important for Hong Kong citizens with dual nationality or those who have needed to replace their passport after their application.

Once Hong Kong travelers have submitted their application, it is generally processed within 24 hours. Nevertheless, it is recommended to complete their e-Visa request at least 3 business days before their arrival to account for busy touristic periods.

Hong Kong applicants will receive their Turkey e-Visa on a downloadable link in a confirmation email. Once received, they should download it and print out a copy to carry with them on their travel to Turkey.
