Turkey Visa Cost from Dubai: All Fees Explained (2026)

The Turkey e-Visa is the most affordable visa option for eligible nationalities in Dubai. You apply entirely online through the official portal at evisa.gov.tr, pay by credit or debit card, and receive your approved visa by email. There are no additional service charges, appointment fees, or hidden costs with the e-Visa — the government fee is the only expense.

However, the e-Visa fee is not the same for every nationality. Turkey sets different prices based on bilateral agreements with each country. Some passport holders pay as little as USD 20, while others pay USD 50 or more. Below is a breakdown of the current e-Visa fees for the nationalities most commonly applying from Dubai.

If your nationality is not listed above, you can check your exact e-Visa fee by visiting evisa.gov.tr and selecting your country. The system displays the applicable fee before you proceed with payment. Alternatively, contact OraVisa for a free eligibility check and fee quote tailored to your passport.

Nationalities that are not eligible for the e-Visa must apply for a sticker visa through VFS Global in Dubai. The sticker visa involves multiple fees that add up quickly: the Turkish government visa fee, the VFS service charge, and several optional but commonly used premium services. Understanding each line item helps you budget accurately and avoid surprises at the application centre.

The government visa fee for sticker visas varies by nationality. Pakistani passport holders typically pay around USD 60 to USD 80 for a single-entry tourist visa, while some African and Central Asian nationalities pay up to USD 110. The exact fee is confirmed when you submit your application at VFS Global.

Beyond the official visa and service fees, several additional costs catch applicants off guard. These hidden expenses are not part of the visa fee itself, but they are necessary to complete your application successfully. Planning for them in advance prevents last-minute stress and ensures you have a realistic budget for your Turkey visa from Dubai.

Passport Photos

Sticker visa applications require two recent passport-sized photographs meeting Turkish consulate specifications: biometric format, white background, 50mm by 50mm size. Getting photos taken at a professional studio in Dubai costs between AED 25 and AED 50 for a set. The VFS centre also offers photo services, but at a higher price of AED 40 to AED 60. Save money by getting your photos done at a local studio or photo booth before your appointment.

Travel Insurance

While travel insurance is not strictly mandatory for Turkey tourist visas, it is strongly recommended and some consulate officers ask for proof of coverage during the sticker visa assessment. A basic travel insurance policy covering Turkey for a one-week trip costs AED 50 to AED 100 from most UAE-based insurers. Comprehensive coverage with medical evacuation runs AED 100 to AED 200. Buying insurance online directly is usually cheaper than purchasing at the VFS centre.

Document Preparation

Depending on your situation, you may need to arrange salary certificates, bank statement printouts, employment letters on company letterhead, or notarised translations of documents not in English or Turkish. Bank statement printouts from UAE banks are typically free if done through online banking, but branch-issued stamped copies may cost AED 25 to AED 50 per statement. Translation and notarisation services in Dubai run AED 100 to AED 300 per document depending on the language.

Transportation and Parking

If applying for a sticker visa, you will need to visit the VFS Global centre in Dubai at least once for document submission and potentially a second time for passport collection if you do not opt for courier delivery. Parking near the VFS centre costs AED 10 to AED 20 per visit. If taking a taxi or ride-hailing service, budget AED 30 to AED 80 each way depending on where you are travelling from within Dubai.

To help you understand the full picture, here is a side-by-side comparison of the total costs for each visa route from Dubai. This includes all government fees, service charges, and typical additional expenses so you can compare the real cost of doing it yourself versus using a professional visa service like OraVisa.

For e-Visa eligible nationalities, the do-it-yourself online application is the most affordable option at around AED 185 to AED 285 including travel insurance. The process is simple enough that most applicants can handle it independently if they follow the steps carefully and use only the official evisa.gov.tr website.

For sticker visa applicants, the cost difference between doing it yourself and using OraVisa is often minimal once you factor in time spent gathering documents, travelling to VFS, and the risk of rejection due to incomplete paperwork. OraVisa packages include document review, appointment booking, application tracking, and courier return, which means you save time and reduce the chance of a costly rejection.
