Turkey (Türkiye) at a glance
Turkey (Türkiye) sits at the crossroads of Europe and Asia and has growing trade, education and tourism links with Bangladesh. Istanbul, Ankara and Izmir are major centres for textiles, manufacturing, logistics and higher education.
Visa requirements depend on your nationality and purpose of travel. Depending on eligibility, visitors may apply through Turkey's official electronic visa system or at a Turkish consulate. Foreign workers generally need a work permit obtained through their employer, and students apply after receiving admission from a Turkish institution, followed by a residence permit after arrival.
Because our team speaks Turkish, we are well placed to help with communication — whether you are attending a trade fair, meeting suppliers or planning your studies. Decisions on visas and permits are made solely by the Turkish authorities.
