Hello! I tried applying for the Tourist Visa (TR) at the official website and was told to contact my embassy/consulate, which in my case is not even in the country. You would think applications from European passports from EU countries would be quite standard, no? I sent an email to the consulate, but does anyone know if there is a way to make the online application work? Thanks.
