Who We Serve

Turkey is one of the most important transit countries for the East African and Middle Eastern communities in Columbus. Istanbul Airport (IST) is a major hub for flights to Somalia, Ethiopia, Djibouti, East Africa, and the Middle East — meaning many Columbus residents travel through Turkey regularly. Turkish Airlines serves Mogadishu, Addis Ababa, and dozens of regional airports. Beyond transit, Columbus also has a growing Turkish-American community of students, professionals, and families.

Turkish translation available

What We Help With in Lewis Center

We are a document preparation and translation service — not an attorney or embassy. We make sure every document in your packet is complete, accurate, and correctly formatted before you submit.

Turkey e-Visa Application Assistance

Turkey offers e-visas for eligible nationalities through the official portal evisa.gov.tr. We help prepare your application, review eligibility, and ensure your supporting documents are in order.

Frequently Asked Questions — Turkey Visa in Lewis Center

Can I get a Turkey e-visa with a Somali passport?+
Somali passport holders are not eligible for the Turkey e-visa system. You must apply for a visa at the Turkish Consulate General in Chicago (which covers Ohio). We help you prepare the complete consulate application package.
I have a US green card — can I transit through Istanbul (IST) without a Turkish visa?+
US permanent residents (green card holders) traveling to a third country may transit through Turkey without a visa, subject to certain conditions. Turkish airlines also has an airport transit visa policy. We recommend verifying your specific situation at the Turkish Consulate or Turkish Airlines website before travel, as policies can change.
Can Asal translate my Turkish documents for US immigration?+
Yes. Turkish civil documents use a specific format — the family registry extract (Nüfus Kayıt Örneği) is the most important, covering all registered family members. We provide certified Turkish to English translation accepted by USCIS.
How long does a Turkey e-visa take and what does it cost?+
Turkey e-visas are typically processed within 24-72 hours. The official government fee is $50 USD for US citizens. We help you prepare the application correctly through the official evisa.gov.tr portal — there is no need to use third-party services.
