VFS accepts applications only within your jurisdiction, which is determined by your work and residence address. Three Turkish missions in India split the country: MissionStates coveredVFS centresEmbassy of Türkiye, New DelhiDelhi, Haryana, Punjab, Chandigarh, Uttarakhand, Himachal Pradesh, Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Jharkhand, West Bengal, Jammu and Kashmir and the North-East statesNew Delhi, Chandigarh, Jaipur, Jalandhar, KolkataConsulate General of Türkiye, MumbaiMaharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat, Goa, Karnataka, Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Pondicherry, Daman and Diu, Dadra and Nagar Haveli, Andaman and Nicobar, LakshadweepMumbai, Pune, Ahmedabad, Bengaluru, Chennai, Cochin, PuducherryConsulate General of Türkiye, HyderabadAndhra Pradesh, Telangana, Odisha, ChhattisgarhHyderabadTwo placements surprise people. Kolkata applicants are handled by the Embassy in New Delhi, and Odisha and Chhattisgarh go to Hyderabad. The official jurisdiction list for India is the reference if your case is borderline. If your passport was issued outside the jurisdiction where you now live, bring local address proof. If you rent, that means a rent agreement for the last six months (with tenant verification if you have been at the address for less than six months), or government address proof such as Aadhaar, Voter ID, or a gas or electricity bill. ### How early, and how late, should you book? VFS accepts applications a maximum of 60 days before travel. No fixed processing time is published; the Embassy or Consulate can take more or less time at its discretion. The checklists instead set minimum lead times, which tell you the latest sensible appointment date: Visa type and jurisdictionApply at leastTourist, Delhi and Mumbai15 working days before departureTourist, Hyderabad (April 2026 checklist)6 working days before departureBusiness, Delhi10 working days before departureMedical and family unification20 working days before departureStudent, research, internship, Turkish language course20 working days before departureWork25 working days before departureA practical window for a holiday from Delhi or Mumbai jurisdiction is therefore between 60 days and three weeks before you fly. ### What is paid online at booking, and what at the centre? The Türkiye fee has two parts: a visa fee and a 'Türkiye Visa Application Fee' that includes the VFS service charge. INR 6890 of the total is charged online when you book the appointment. The remainder is paid at the centre by cash, UPI or POS.

Download the checklist PDF for your visa type and jurisdiction from VFS Türkiye India before the appointment, because Delhi, Mumbai and Hyderabad publish separate lists. ### Can you skip the appointment with a Türkiye e-Visa? Some travellers can. Türkiye's Foreign Ministry says Indian ordinary passport holders with a valid Schengen, USA, UK or Ireland visa or residence permit may get a single-entry e-Visa valid for one month at evisa.gov.tr, if they meet the conditions. The supporting visa or permit must be valid on the entry date and carried in original. E-Visas are only for tourism or commerce, so anyone going to work or study still books VFS. Yatra For Fun's India office in Gurugram prepares flight reservations, hotel bookings, travel itineraries and cover letters for visa files, with packages from INR 1,000 (flight reservation) to INR 3,000 (reservation, hotel, itinerary and cover letter).
