Bangladesh passport holders: Single entry for Turkey. Fee: USD 60 (~USD 60). Processing: 24 hours (eVisa) / 2-4 weeks (Embassy). Indicative only — always verify with the official mission before applying.

Overview

Core eligibility reconfirmed directly on Turkey's official MFA site: Bangladeshi ORDINARY passport holders may only use the eVisa (evisa.gov.tr) if they hold a valid Schengen/USA/UK/Ireland VISA or RESIDENCE PERMIT (a prior e-Visa explicitly does NOT count as qualifying document) — matches DB. Diplomatic/Official passport holders remain visa-exempt up to 90 days. Could NOT reconfirm the exact current eVisa fee with confidence this session: the official MFA country-fee PDF does not list Bangladesh by name, and third-party estimates range from ~USD 60 to USD 120-210 (the higher figures are clearly agent/service-fee-inflated). Treat the DB's USD 60 figure as unconfirmed pending a direct evisa.gov.tr application-flow check.

Visa types: eVisa (only for holders of valid Schengen/US/UK/Ireland visa — 30-day single entry, 180-day validity); Tourist Visa (embassy, single/multiple entry); Student Visa; Work Visa; Family Residence; Investor; Long-term Residence. Diplomatic/Official passports visa-free 90 days.
