Slms, please advise if the online Turkish visa sufficient if you’re traveling into turkey on any other airlines besides Turkish airlines? (I’ve heard the online visa doesn’t work when using ethopian, Qatar or emirates airlines) is this true? (For South Africans)

This is not true. I just came back from Istanbul 2 weeks ago. Flew Qatar airways. No issues at all. Our e-visas were checked at Cape Town international airport before departure.
Hope this helps
