Turkey Visa for Caribbean & Pacific Passport Holders Living in Dubai

Do Caribbean and Pacific passport holders in Dubai need a visa for Turkey?

Yes, but it is direct — these nationalities qualify for the Turkey e-Visa by nationality, with no Schengen, US, UK or Ireland visa required and no UAE-residence condition. Most covered Caribbean states (Antigua and Barbuda, the Bahamas, Barbados, the Dominican Republic, Grenada, Jamaica, St Lucia, St Vincent and the Grenadines) receive a three-month multiple-entry e-Visa; Fiji, a Pacific nation, receives a one-month single-entry e-Visa. Antigua and Barbuda, the Dominican Republic, and St Vincent and the Grenadines also allow a visa on arrival. Apply at evisa.gov.tr and confirm current terms before booking.

If you hold a Caribbean or Pacific passport and live in Dubai, Turkey is an easy visa — you qualify for the e-Visa directly, by nationality. Unlike Indian, Pakistani or Filipino passport holders, whose Turkey e-Visa is conditional on holding a Schengen, US, UK or Ireland visa, the states covered here need no supporting document and no UAE-residence condition. You apply online and receive your e-Visa.

There is one detail worth getting right, though: the covered states do not all get the same e-Visa. Most Caribbean states get a generous three-month, multiple-entry e-Visa, while Fiji — a Pacific nation, not a Caribbean one — gets a one-month, single-entry e-Visa. A few states also allow a visa on arrival. This guide sets out the exact term for each so you choose the right route for your trip.

It covers Antigua and Barbuda, the Bahamas, Barbados, the Dominican Republic, Fiji, Grenada, Jamaica, St Lucia, and St Vincent and the Grenadines — for holders of these passports living in Dubai and across the UAE.

You Qualify Directly — but the Term Differs by State

The rule in one line: your passport qualifies you for the Turkey e-Visa on its own — no third-country visa, no UAE-residence condition — but the length and entries of that e-Visa depend on which state issued your passport. The table below is the verified position for each.

This is the Dominican Republic (the country), not Dominica. Fiji is a Pacific nation. Terms verified against mfa.gov.tr in July 2026 — confirm current terms at evisa.gov.tr before travel.

What This Means for You

  • You qualify for the e-Visa by nationality — no Schengen, US, UK or Ireland visa needed first
  • Most covered Caribbean states get a three-month multiple-entry e-Visa — generous for repeat or multi-leg travel
  • Fiji passport holders get a one-month single-entry e-Visa; for longer or multiple entries, a 90-day multiple-entry visa is available from a Turkish mission
  • Antigua and Barbuda, the Dominican Republic, and St Vincent and the Grenadines also allow a visa on arrival — but applying online in advance is the smoother route

The Online Process

For every state covered here, the e-Visa is a short online form and a card payment.

  1. 1Go to the official portal at evisa.gov.tr — never a third-party site, which charges inflated fees and may not submit a genuine application
  2. 2Select your country and Ordinary Passport as your document type; the portal will display your e-Visa term (three-month multiple entry for most Caribbean states, one-month single entry for Fiji)
  3. 3Enter your passport and personal details exactly as they appear on your passport, and your planned arrival date
  4. 4Pay the fee (approximately USD 50) with a Visa, Mastercard or UnionPay card
  5. 5Download and print the approved e-Visa; most approvals arrive within minutes, occasionally up to 48 hours

Carry a printed copy of the e-Visa with your passport, plus your valid UAE residence visa (needed to leave and re-enter Dubai), a return or onward flight booking, and proof of accommodation.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Assuming you need a Schengen or US visa first. These states qualify for the Turkey e-Visa by nationality — that condition applies to other passports, not to you.
  • Assuming everyone gets the same visa. Most Caribbean states get a three-month multiple-entry e-Visa, but Fiji gets a one-month single-entry e-Visa — check your state before you plan a multi-entry trip.
  • Confusing the Dominican Republic with Dominica. This guide covers the Dominican Republic; Dominica is a separate country with its own terms.
  • Relying on visa on arrival where it is not offered. Only some states allow it; applying online in advance is the reliable route for everyone.
  • Using a copycat website instead of evisa.gov.tr, which charges several times the official fee.
