ANKARA. The Gateway Visa center, which has been providing visa processing services for foreign nationals in Turkey, is ceasing its operations. According to official sources, the decision was made as part of efforts to restructure the visa service system and improve administrative mechanisms in this field.
For several years, Gateway Visa handled visa documentation, accepted applications, and provided information services for foreigners wishing to travel to Turkey. Following the closure of the center, relevant authorities are expected to issue additional clarifications regarding the new visa procedures and the updated service format.
The official statement also notes:
- relevant ministries are working on establishing a new visa service system,
- new rules for receiving and processing documents will be announced to the public soon,
- the updated system aims to provide foreign nationals with more transparent, faster, and more reliable services.
The closure of the Gateway Visa center has drawn attention in several countries. Analysts believe that this step is part of Turkey’s broader reforms aimed at modernizing its migration and visa administration system.
Official Ankara emphasizes that the changes are intended to improve service quality for foreign citizens, simplify administrative procedures, and regulate the flow of international travelers.
