• When can I file for an e-visa?
Apply for the visa at least 48 hours before departure if possible. Even though the Turkey visa is granted within 14 minutes with an urgent application, it is always a possibility that there will be a randomized extended background check by the Turkish immigration service, which can cause a delay.
Tip: The Turkish immigration service processes applications up to 3 months before the indicated date of arrival. However, through this website you can submit your application earlier. It will be put on hold after the payment has been made. Exactly three months before your date of arrival in Turkey, your application will start to be processed, so that you will have your e-visa well before time, without running the risk of forgetting the application. That way, you can go on your trip without a single worry.

• Is there a 0 or an O in my passport number?
Sometimes, it can be difficult to make out whether the number 0 or the letter O is listed in a document. A British passport number only contains digits. This means that the letter O cannot appear in a British passport number. It is always the number 0.
Are you applying for a visa through JBVisas.com? Then a check will always be made to ensure that you have not swapped the letter O and the number 0, especially if your document number has both letters and digits. If this error is noticed, it will always be corrected for you immediately. This way you can still travel without problems.
Did you apply for a visa through another website? In most cases, this error will not be corrected, and your visa may be invalid. It is not possible to change a wrong passport number, you will have to apply for a completely new visa.
