Bangladeshi passport holders need a visa to visit Turkey. Many can use the online conditional e-Visa — provided they hold the right supporting documents. Here is how it works.
Turkey draws a growing number of Bangladeshi travellers for its history, mosques, coastline and landscapes. Before booking flights, most people ask whether Bangladeshis need a visa for Turkey and whether the e-Visa will do. The answer: yes, a visa is required, and the conditional e-Visa is open to many Bangladeshi travellers who meet a supporting-document condition.
This guide explains, plainly, who qualifies for the Turkey e-Visa as a Bangladeshi citizen, the documents you must hold, the approximate cost and validity, processing time and what to expect at the airport. It is written for ordinary (tourist) passport holders travelling for tourism or short business.
Because rules and fees are set by the Turkish government and can change, treat everything below as guidance and confirm the current requirements on the official portal before you apply or travel.
⚠ Visa rules can change — always confirm current requirements on the official Republic of Türkiye e-Visa site (www.evisa.gov.tr) before travel. Fees and conditions below are approximate guidance, not a guarantee.
Yes. Bangladeshi passport holders require a visa to enter Turkey for any purpose, including tourism. There is no visa-free entry and no visa on arrival for ordinary Bangladeshi passports. The two routes are the online e-Visa (if you meet the condition below) or a sticker visa from a Turkish embassy or consulate.
The Turkey e-Visa is available to Bangladeshi citizens on a conditional basis. To qualify you generally must hold a valid visa or residence permit from one of the Schengen countries, the United States, the United Kingdom or Ireland, with a passport valid at least six months beyond arrival. Without one of those supporting documents you cannot use the e-Visa and must apply for a sticker visa at a Turkish consulate. The e-Visa covers tourism and short business only.
Apply only on the official Republic of Türkiye portal at www.evisa.gov.tr. Select Bangladesh as your country, enter your passport and travel details, confirm your supporting visa or residence permit, pay by card and receive the e-Visa by email as a PDF. Print it or keep it on your phone for check-in and immigration. Avoid third-party visa websites that charge inflated fees — the government portal is the only official source.
For Bangladeshi citizens the conditional e-Visa is typically a single-entry permit allowing a stay of up to 30 days, valid for 180 days from issue, within which you must enter Turkey. The fee is usually modest — often around USD 40–60 with the service charge — but the exact amount is set by the portal when you apply, so confirm the figure shown on the official site before paying.
The conditional e-Visa is usually approved quickly — minutes to a few hours — but can occasionally take up to 24–48 hours, so apply several days ahead. A consulate sticker visa takes longer, typically several working days or more; plan ahead if the e-Visa is not open to you.
For the Bangladeshi e-Visa you will generally need: a passport valid at least six months beyond arrival; the valid supporting visa or residence permit from the Schengen area, USA, UK or Ireland; a payment card; and basic travel details. Immigration may also ask for a return or onward ticket, proof of accommodation and sufficient funds, so keep your hotel booking and itinerary handy.
On arrival, present your passport, your approved e-Visa (printed or on your phone) and the supporting visa/residence permit you qualified with. Officers may ask about your accommodation, length of stay and return flight. With documents in order, clearance is usually quick. Keep the e-Visa accessible until you have cleared immigration.
The only official place to apply is the Republic of Türkiye e-Visa portal. Avoid third-party sites that charge inflated fees.
