I'm from Pakistan and I believe TRNC is the only country where we are welcomed without a pre-visa. But I have heard that to get to TRNC one has to get Turkish Transit Visa. Is Turkish Transit Visa also mandatory for those who will arrive to, or depart from the TRNC without checking out in Turkey (i.e. persons who will wait at the transit passengers lounge)?

My wife is Chinese so we have gone through this process.



In short you will need a transit visa if you wish to leave the airport - you will require an onward ticket and visa (if appropriate) for your destination country - this gives you 72 hours in Istanbul. If you are not going outside the airport you will not need a transit visa.



Do check with the Embassy in Pakistan but I understand this is the case for most non-visa waiver nationals.
