Short answer — Türkiye
A wrong date of birth is a material error. If the form is still editable, fix it immediately; if it is submitted, file a corrected form or a written amendment request before your appointment. Never let a counter discover it — an unexplained mismatch is treated as a misrepresentation risk.
Why this happens
DOB drives identity matching against passport and biometric records, so any mismatch stops processing.
At Gateway International / eVisa in India, Republic of Türkiye Ministry of Foreign Affairs sets the underlying rule and the centre applies it at the counter, so the fix below is the same whichever Indian city you apply from.
