Pakistan national with valid UK Student Visa. Will i be given Turkish Visa on entry?
I am a Pakistan national with valid UK Student Visa. I want to visit Antalya (Turkey) to attend a conference. I have read on Turkish foreign offices website, Turkish Consulate in London Website and Turkish Embassy in Pakistan website that a Pakistan national with valid UK / Schengen visa may be given 'Sticker type visa' for a month. I have tried to contact Turkish Consulate in London and Turkish Embassy in Pakistan through phone / email but have not been able to get a response from them. I have not travel agent as i have booked my flight online. Can any one confirm /deny the above mentioned information. Cheers

You will still need to apply for a visa to enter Turkey because the UK visa you hold is a student visa. The student visa solely allows one to study in the UK not the freedom to travel.

You can get a one month single entry tourist visa on arrival. Holding a valid Schengen visa or a visa issued by the U.K. or the United States exempts from the visa application in advance at the Consulate. The visa fee is US$ 20 or € 15. You must show availability of sufficient funds (at least US$ 50 [~£ 33.30] per day of stay). http://www.mfa.gov.tr/visa-information-for-foreigners.en.mfa .. http://www.timaticweb.com/cgi-bin/tim_website_client.cgi?SpecData=1&VISA=&HEALTH=&page=both&NA=PK&AR=00&DE=TR&VT=GB&EM=GB&PASSTYPES=PASS&user=SKYWEB&subuser=SKYWEB1 .. If you check the website the first answerer has provided you can read: Footnote 10) Please note that you are required to have a certain amount of money (50 $ per day) while you enter Turkey. Footnote 19) You require visa to enter to Turkey. Valid UK, Schengen or USA visa holders can obtain 30 days single entry sticker type of visa on arrival in Turkey (tourists or business visitors only). You require to submit, minimum 6 months valid passport, accommadation details and return ticket. All other type of visa applicants need to apply to this Consulate General. If you would like to obtain your visa through this Consulate General please make an online appointment. Remarks: I do not recommend to get the visa in advance at the Consulate. It will involve a fee of £ 36.00 whereas you can buy € 15.00 for about £ 12.85
