In Turkey with e-visa

Belarusians can apply for a Turkish multiple electronic entry visa providing they have a Schengen visa.

“Citizens of the states entitled to obtain visas at the border, with a valid Schengen or OECD member's visa or residence permit, may apply for an electronic visa”, - BelTA learned from the press service of the Belarusian Foreign Ministry.

E-visa system was introduced in Turkey on 17 April 2013. E-visa is only valid when the purpose of travel is tourism or commerce. Other purposes, such as work and study, require regular visa given by Embassies or Consulates. An application for an electronic visa can be filed on the website of the Turkish Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

The documents necessary for obtaining a visa includes a passport which should be valid at least six months longer than the expiry date of the requested visa, booked flight or other means of transport and a credit card. Visa fee is $20. The visa is valid for 180 days. Countdown begins with date of entry into the territory of Turkey. Visa is multiple. Period of stay on the territory of Turkey at each trip must not exceed 60 days.

The press service also added that sticker visas can still be obtained on the border.
