Flight itinerary for Turkey โ ready for your eVisa in minutes.
Turkey's eVisa covers ~100 nationalities โ but India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh must still apply through the Turkish consulate, where refusal rates reach 9โ18%. Whether you're flying into Istanbul's Atatรผrk-era IST or the second airport Sabiha Gรถkรงen (SAW), your application requires a documented return itinerary. Get yours sorted before you start the form โ not after.
What you need to know
What is a flight itinerary โ and why does Turkey require one?
Turkey's eVisa splits nationalities into two very different application experiences. If you hold a US, UK, Australian, or most EU passport, the eVisa takes 10 minutes online and approval comes within hours. If you hold an Indian, Pakistani, or Bangladeshi passport, you must apply at a Turkish consulate โ a process that takes 15โ45 days and carries real refusal risk. In both cases, a return or onward flight itinerary is required at the application stage. Buying a real ticket before your visa is approved puts money at risk unnecessarily. A Flightinary itinerary documents your plans without financial exposure โ and for consulate applicants, it's one of the documents that actually matters.
What a flight itinerary is
A flight itinerary is a professionally formatted travel document built on live GDS aviation data โ complete with real flight numbers, airline codes, IATA airport identifiers, departure and arrival times, and correct routing. It demonstrates your planned travel for documentation purposes without requiring a paid booking, making it ideal for Turkey eVisa and consulate applications.
Why not just buy a real ticket?
For nationalities applying at the Turkish consulate โ including Indian, Pakistani, and Bangladeshi passport holders โ refusal rates can reach 8โ10%. Committing to a real ticket before your visa decision is a financial risk. Even for eVisa-eligible nationalities, dates change and plans shift. A flight itinerary lets you demonstrate travel intent without the cost of a refundable or non-refundable booking.
Does Flightinary's itinerary work for Turkey visa submissions?
Yes. Flightinary itineraries are generated from real-time aviation data โ real flight numbers, correct IATA codes, accurate routing. They are formatted to meet the documentation standard expected by the Turkish eVisa portal and by Turkish consulates worldwide. The document reads as a credible, professionally prepared travel record, not a template printout.

Know your profile
How your nationality affects your Turkey visa application
Turkey's eVisa is available to nationals of around 100 countries โ but not all nationalities qualify. Those who do not must apply at a Turkish consulate or mission, which involves a longer process, higher scrutiny, and greater risk of refusal. Understand your position before you apply.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| ๐บ๐ธUnited States | ~2% | Not required | $1,500 | Immediate |

๐ด High consulate refusal rate โ Pakistan (~15%) and Bangladesh (~18%)?
For consulate applicants from high-scrutiny countries, a comprehensive document package is essential. Prior travel history to Western destinations (Schengen, US, UK, Canada) is the single most powerful factor. Include every piece of evidence of home ties: employment letter with salary, property documents, family commitments, and a detailed travel itinerary. Apply at least 6 weeks before your intended travel date.
๐ก Medium consulate refusal rate โ India (~9%)?
A solid application with no documentation gaps is your best protection. Don't rely on a single piece of financial evidence โ combine bank statements, employment confirmation, and a return flight itinerary. A prior Schengen or US visa strengthens your application significantly. Apply at the Turkish consulate with jurisdiction over your home state (New Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, Kolkata, or Hyderabad).
