http://www.itseasy.com/images/line-breaks/passport-visa-horz-blue-596.gif

 1.1

Current Passport

Applicant must submit their current passport. Turkey visas are stamped into a passport, therefore the the original passport is required.
Note: In order to obtain Turkey visas, passport must have one blank visa page (typically the last few pages of the passport are marked "Amendment" and are not valid for visas) and must be valid for at least six months past the date of entry into Turkey.

 1.2

Photo Requirement

Applicant must submit three (3) identical, color, passport style photographs. The photos must be recent and generally should not be the same used for the passport itself. Passport photos can be obtained at most post offices, Kinko's, Walgreens, etc.

 1.3

Proof of Travel

Applicant must submit a computer-generated itinerary from a travel agency or online booking tool (such as e-confirmation from an airline or Travelocity, Orbitz, etc) showing departure from the U.S. and arrival/departure for Turkey.
Applicant must also submit confirmed hotel reservation. This may be part of itinerary above or a separate document.

Although applicant may be submitting documents along with other family members, when submitted to an embassy or consulate, applications are treated individually. If applicant is under 18 years old, include the following:
1) Color copies of parents valid passports. If either, or both, parents do not have valid passports, include color copies of driver's license or other state issued ID. If either, or both, parents are not US citizens, include copies of ID and copies of US visa or permanent resident card (Green card).
2) Include a letter of authorization for child to obtain visa and travel.

 1.4

Proof of Finances

Although not technically a requirement, applicant is highly advised to submit three most recent bank statements. This is requested by the consulate approximately 30% of the time.
Applicant must show on most recent statement sufficient funds to support themselves during the visit (generally this equals $100 USD per day in country).
Bank statement should be originals, although print outs of online statements are often accepted.
