South African citizens have many opportunities to visit Turkey, thanks to its close proximity to Africa. In this article, we will discuss the different types of visas that South African citizens can apply for when visiting Turkey.
How to get a Turkish visa if you’re a South African citizen
If you’re a South African citizen and you want to travel to Turkey, there are a few things that you need to do in order to get a Turkish visa. The first step is getting an e-Visa from the Turkish Embassy or Consulate in your home country. After you have this visa, the next step is traveling to the Turkish Embassy or Consulate in your destination country and submitting your passport for processing. You will then receive a visa letter which will have all of the specific information about your visa, such as the date of expiration, type of visa (e-Visa only allows 30 days stay), and other related details. Finally, make sure that you carry this letter with you when traveling to Turkey so that they can verify that you actually have the correct visa. Turkey Visa for South African Citizens
