Why you’ll love Türkiye

Eight nights across three bases, Istanbul, Bursa and Antalya. This one is invoiced in euros, €2,500 per person. The rupee and dollar figures on this page are converted at 305 rupees to the euro and move with the rate, so treat them as indicative and expect the invoice in euros.

The three cities above are what you go to see. This is what it is like to be there, which is the part nobody puts on a poster.

It is an easy country for a Pakistani group to be in. It is Muslim, so the food is halal without anybody having to ask the question twice, there is a mosque within earshot of wherever you are standing, and Friday feels like Friday. Breakfast is a spread rather than a plate: cheeses, olives, tomato, cucumber, eggs, bread and tea, and it is included every morning. Tea arrives constantly and nobody charges for it.

The language is Turkish and English carries you further than you expect in Istanbul and along the Antalya coast, less so in Bursa. A good deal of Urdu vocabulary is shared, so signage is often half readable before anyone translates it, which travellers notice on the first day and enjoy for the rest of the trip.

Weather decides how the trip feels more than anything else. Spring and autumn are mild. Summer is hot in the cities and still worth it. In November Istanbul is cool and wet, Bursa has snow on Uludağ above the city, and Antalya on the Mediterranean stays the mildest of the three.

The day by day plan for this routing has not reached us yet, so none is printed here. Ask us on WhatsApp and we send what is confirmed.

Cash is Turkish lira, cards work nearly everywhere, and the one place you will want notes is a bazaar, where the price is a starting position rather than a number.

We apply for your visa

We do the applying

We prepare and submit your Türkiye visa file for you, so you are not working out an embassy queue on your own. The visa fee itself sits outside the package price. Ask us what it is today and we will put the figure in writing before you pay anything.

What we need from you

We send you the list of documents for your passport and check them before anything is filed. If an appointment, biometrics or extra papers are needed for your passport, we tell you what and when.

If it is refused

Visa, embassy and visa service fees are not refunded, whatever the outcome. Anything else not yet spent is refunded, and we give you the figure in writing before you pay.

Questions families ask

The visa

If my Türkiye visa is refused, how much money do I lose to the authorities?

It depends entirely on which route you used, and the gap between them is enormous. On the sticker visa route, which is the route for most Pakistani travellers, the Turkish Embassy in Islamabad's fee sheet dated 20 February 2026 charges Pakistani and non-EU passports PKR 52,200 for a 3-month single entry, PKR 58,000 for 6 months and PKR 63,800 for 12 months, and states on its face that all payments are to be paid in PKR cash only and that the above-mentioned fees are non-refundable.

Do I get the cheap Türkiye e-visa or the expensive sticker visa?

It turns on one question: whether you already hold a valid Schengen, United States, United Kingdom or Ireland visa or residence permit. Türkiye's Ministry of Foreign Affairs states that Pakistani ordinary passport holders are required to have a visa to enter Türkiye, and that ordinary passport holders with a valid Schengen, USA, UK or Ireland visa or residence permit may get a one month single entry e-Visa via evisa.

My Schengen visa is used up. Does it still count as a supporting document?

Yes, as long as it has not expired. Türkiye's official e-visa FAQ states that the only requirement for your visa or residence permit to be used as a supporting document is that it should still be valid by date by the time you enter Türkiye, and that previously used or unused single-entry visas are accepted as long as their validity date covers your entry date to Türkiye.

Where does a Pakistani hand in a Türkiye sticker visa application?

At Anatolia Travel Services, not at the Embassy. The Turkish Embassy in Islamabad states that visa applications are received exclusively through Anatolia Travel Services offices, and separately that it is the sole authorised service provider for Turkish diplomatic missions across Pakistan to receive visa applications to Türkiye.
