Whether you need a visa — and which kind — depends on your passport nationality, not your UAE residency. UAE nationals travel visa-free for up to 90 days. Many expats, including Indian and Filipino passport holders, qualify for the fully online Turkish eVisa, usually approved within 24–72 hours. Nationalities not eligible for the eVisa, such as Pakistani and Bangladeshi passport holders, apply for the consular Turkey Tourist Visa, which generally takes 5–15 working days. Gulliver Holidays checks your eligibility, prepares your documents and files the application for you.
UAE residents heading to Turkey for leisure typically choose between two routes. Knowing the difference up front means you apply for the right one the first time.
