Emirates E-Visa For Turkish Nationals

Apply for Your Emirates Visa from Anywhere in Turkey 

The Emirates visa application is fully online — there is no embassy visit, no paperwork by post, and no need to travel to a major city to apply. Whether you are in Istanbul, Ankara, İzmir, Antalya, Bursa, Kocaeli or a smaller town, the application takes 10 minutes from your phone or laptop. Approval is delivered by email and stored against your passport in the UAE immigration system, so you only need to show your passport at the UAE airport. 

Dubai Visa from Istanbul 

Istanbul is the largest source of UAE travel from Turkey, with direct daily flights from Istanbul Airport (IST) and Sabiha Gökçen (SAW) to Dubai (DXB) and Abu Dhabi (AUH). To apply for a Dubai visa from Istanbul, you do not need to visit any office in Şişli, Levent, Beşiktaş or near the consulate. Complete the application online, upload your passport bio page and visa photo in proper size, and choose your processing speed. Standard processing takes 3–4 working days. Express delivers in 24–48 hours — useful if you are flying within the week from IST or SAW. 

Apply for Dubai Visa from Ankara 

Travellers from Ankara apply through the same online process as Istanbul applicants — the visa is federal and not tied to the city of application. Ankara residents typically fly from Esenboğa Airport (ESB) with a connection via Istanbul, or take a direct flight on certain carriers. Submit your application at least 1–2 weeks before travel during peak periods (Eid holidays, school summer breaks, December) to avoid last-minute processing pressure. For Ankara applicants on a tight timeline, our Express service is available 7 days a week. 

Dubai Tourist Visa from Antalya 

Antalya residents heading to Dubai for a holiday or family visit can apply for the 30-day single-entry tourist visa or the 60-day single-entry visa, depending on the length of stay. The application is identical to Istanbul or Ankara — entirely online. Direct flights from Antalya Airport (AYT) to Dubai operate on selected days; if you are connecting via Istanbul, make sure the visa is approved before your first flight, as Turkish Airlines and other carriers will check your visa status at check-in. 

UAE Visa from Çayırova and the Kocaeli Region 

If you are applying from Çayırova, Gebze, İzmit or anywhere else in Kocaeli province, the nearest airport for Dubai-bound flights is Sabiha Gökçen International Airport (SAW), roughly 35–45 minutes by road. There is no need to travel into central Istanbul for the visa itself — the application is online, and once approved, your e-visa is emailed to you. Applicants from the Çayırova area regularly use our service for the 14-day, 30-day, and 60-day Emirates visa options. 

Other Turkish Cities We Process Applications From 

Applications are accepted from anywhere in Turkey, including İzmir, Bursa, Adana, Gaziantep, Konya, Kayseri, Mersin, Eskişehir, Diyarbakır, Samsun, Şanlıurfa, Trabzon and all other provinces. The process, fees, and processing times are identical regardless of your city. As long as you hold a valid Turkish ordinary passport and meet the document requirements, your application is processed through the same UAE federal system. 

How to Apply for a Emirates Visa from Turkey — 5 Simple Steps 

The entire process is completed online. There is no need to visit the UAE Embassy in Ankara, the Consulate General in Istanbul, or any visa application centre. Each step is shown below in the order you will complete it. 

Step 1 — Choose your visa type 

Visit the website Emirates Visa, Select the visa that matches your trip length and purpose: 48/96-hour transit if you are connecting through the UAE, 14-day or 30-day tourist visa for a short holiday, 60-day visa for longer stays, or single vs multiple entry depending on whether you plan to re-enter. 

Step 2 — Fill the online application form 

Enter your name exactly as it appears on your Turkish passport, your date of birth, passport number, expiry date, and travel dates. Double-check spelling — name mismatches between the application and passport are the most common reason for rejection. 

Step 3 — Upload your documents 

Upload a clear scan of your Turkish passport bio page (both edges visible, all four corners in frame) and a recent passport-size photo on a white background. Hotel booking and return flight ticket are required at the time of application — book refundable options if you have not finalised plans. 

Step 4 — Pay the visa fee 

Pay securely in USD using a credit or debit card. You will receive an application reference number by email immediately after payment. Standard processing begins at this point. 

Step 5 — Receive your approved e-visa by email 

Standard approval takes 3–4 working days. Express delivers in 24–48 hours; Super Express targets 3–4 hours for eligible applications. Print a copy of the approved e-visa and carry it with your passport when you fly. UAE immigration will scan your passport against the central system on arrival.
