Passport

Flight Reservation
Round-trip flight booking
A copy of the round-trip flight ticket booking.
Accommodation Evidence
Hotel reservation
A hotel reservation covering the stay in Turkey.
Residence Proof
UAE residency visa copy (jurisdiction proof)
Proof of valid UAE residency in Dubai or the Northern Emirates, which determines eligibility to apply at the Consulate General of Türkiye in Dubai specifically (Abu Dhabi-based residents fall under a different jurisdiction).
Conditional documents
Photograph
Passport-style photographs
Two recent photographs, required for the in-person sticker-visa route only; the e-Visa application does not require a photo upload.
Employment Letter
Salary certificate
A salary certificate from the applicant's employer, required for the sticker-visa route where applicable.
Invitation Letter
Invitation letter from Turkish host (if applicable)
If visiting a private host rather than staying in a hotel, an invitation letter from that host is required, stating their Turkish ID number, address and contact details and a declaration to bear visit costs; a No Objection Certificate (NOC) from the applicant's UAE sponsor may also be requested.
