Group Travel to Turkey from Nepal: Tourist Visa Rules & Documents

Nepali citizens planning to travel to Türkiye as a family group, friends group, corporate tour, or organized travel group must apply for a Turkey Tourist (Sticker) Visa through VFS Global Nepal. While applications may be submitted together, visa decisions are always made individually.

1. Is There a Turkey Group Visa for Nepalis?

No. Turkey does not issue a single group visa for Nepali citizens.
However:

• Applications can be submitted together at VFS

• Hotel, itinerary, and tour documents can be shared

• Each applicant receives a separate visa sticker

If one member is refused, others may still be approved.

2. Who Can Apply as a Group?

Group applications are commonly accepted for:

• Families (spouse, children, parents)

• Friends traveling together

• Corporate or office tour groups

• Travel-agency-organized tour packages

Minors must submit separate applications with parental consent documents.

3. Common Documents (For Each Group Member)

Each traveler must submit:

1. Visa application form (manually filled, signed)

2. Original passport (6 months validity + 2 blank pages)

3. Two biometric photos (2.5 × 2.5 inch, white background)

4. Individual cover letter

5. Personal bank statement (last 6 months)

6. Income proof (salary slip, business proof, pension, etc.)

7. Travel insurance (individual or group policy)

8. Passport copies (first, last, visa pages)

9. Civil status proof (Aadhaar & PAN)

4. Shared Documents for Group Applications

These documents can be common for all applicants:

• Hotel reservation (covering all names and full stay)

• Round-trip flight reservation

• Tour itinerary or travel plan

• Tour operator letter (if using a travel agency)

All names must appear clearly and consistently across documents.

5. Bank Balance Rules for Group Travelers

• Each adult must normally show individual bank statements

• Recommended minimum: INR 1 lakh per adult (or equivalent)

• One sponsor (e.g., head of family) may support others with:

  • Sponsorship letter

  • Sponsor’s bank statement

  • Relationship proof

Children’s expenses can be covered by parents.

6. Cover Letter Tips for Group Travel

Each applicant should:

• Mention they are traveling as part of a group

• List names and passport numbers of co-travelers

• Confirm shared itinerary and return plan

• Clearly state who is financing the trip

Avoid submitting identical copy-paste letters.

7. Visa Fees & Processing

• Visa fee: INR 5,210 per person (single-entry tourist visa)

• VFS service fees: Payable per applicant (NPR cash + INR bank transfer)

• Processing time: Typically 10–15 working days

Applying together does not guarantee faster processing.

8. Common Reasons Group Visas Get Rejected

• One member has weak financial proof

• Mismatch of names/dates in shared bookings

• Copy-paste cover letters

• Sudden bank deposits

• Unclear sponsor arrangements

The weakest file in the group often faces refusal.

Final Takeaway

For Nepali citizens, group travel to Turkey is straightforward when each applicant submits a strong individual file, supported by shared travel documents. Coordination, consistency, and clear financial planning are the keys to smooth approval for families and groups traveling together.
