About the Turkish Lira in Pakistan
Türkiye is a popular destination for Pakistani travellers and a growing trade partner, so lira demand at Pakistani counters is mostly travel-driven.
The lira has been through sustained, rapid depreciation, which makes TRY/PKR unusually volatile and means a rate quoted a week ago tells you very little about today.
Before you exchange TRY
For a currency moving this fast, holding lira cash carries real risk. Exchange close to travel rather than well in advance, and check the rate the same day.

Common questions
What is the TRY to PKR rate today?
One Turkish Lira costs 5.78 Pakistani rupees to buy on the open market, and selling one gets you 5.76 rupees. This is the national open market rate, maintained by our editorial team and updated through the day — an individual counter may quote either side of it.
Why is the TRY rate at the counter different from the interbank rate?
The interbank rate is a wholesale price for trades between banks in size. A counter has to cover the cost of holding physical notes, the risk that the rate moves while it holds them, and its own margin. That gap is normal; what varies is how wide it is, which is why comparing branches is worth doing.
Where can I exchange TRY in Pakistan?
At any exchange company licensed by the State Bank of Pakistan. We list 129 cities with verified branches, and every company shown is checked against the SBP register before it appears.
Do I need documents to buy TRY?
Yes. Your original CNIC, NICOP or POC is always required, and biometric verification applies to Pakistani nationals from USD 500 upwards. A travel purchase also needs a passport, the visa where applicable, and a confirmed ticket, with supporting documents required from USD 1,000 upwards.
