If I am a permanent resident of Australia (with Pakistani Passport), can I get an eVisa to travel to Turkey for a week? Or do I have to go to Turkish Consulate physically to apply for it?

You apply online, pay a fee, and schedule an appointment. On your visit, submit the same papers you scanned and uploaded. Visa will be stamped on spot.– Burhan KhalidCommented Dec 3, 2017 at 13:58

Can you tell me what URL to use to apply online? Is this one: evisa.gov.tr It doesn't ask for any papers. Can you please tell me what sort of papers are required? Thanks– HelmBurgerCommented Dec 3, 2017 at 21:26

You can find the answer to your question on the visa information page from the Turkish Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
As a Pakistani citizen, you can get a one month single entry eVisa if they already have a visa or residence permit from one of the Schengen countries, USA, UK or Ireland. Otherwise, you have to apply for a visa at a Turkish consulate.
As a Pakistani not holding a valid Schengen, US, UK or Ireland visa or permanent residency; you need to apply for a visa before you travel.
The application process is online, including uploading of documents. The documents required are typical for any visa process:
- Current passport copy (in your case, you would also include the page that shows your visa (if applicable) to stay in Australia).
- Any other document (such as an identity card) that shows your current non-immigrant status and the validity of it.
- Your travel tickets.
- Your hotel booking.
- Proof of funds or support; normally this is a bank statement along with a salary letter from your employer.
The form asks you for other details about your trip; you also have to upload a passport sized photo.
Start the process at https://www.konsolosluk.gov.tr/Visa
Once you fill in the page and pay the fee, you'll be asked to reserve an appointment at the nearest embassy or mission.
You need to bring a copy of all your documents that you uploaded, along with your passport at your appointment.
Typically they will stamp the visa the same day; and it is usually for a single entry - especially if this is your first time applying.
