TURKEY VISA

ABOUT E-VISA & WHO IS ELIGIBLE

In April 2013, the Turkish government launched an easy online visa system that issues an e-Visa instead of the old “sticker visa”. Once the information and payment is submitted, the visa is emailed to the traveler, and must be downloaded and printed out. The e-Visa should be shown to airport and customs officials in Turkey and kept safe for the duration of the stay. The e-Visa means no more going to local embassies or waiting in line at the airport to obtain a visa.
The Turkey e-Visa is extremely simple for travelers of many countries. However there are some countries that required to provide certain additional documents such as having a valid visa or residence permit from the Schengen, Ireland, United Kingdom or United States. Some countries also have age restrictions.
In the below link please see countries eligible for e-visa and provided that they meet required criteria. To find out these criteria, go to Main Page, click on Apply button and select your Country of Travel and Type of Travel Document.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS

  • The maximum stay for your Turkey e-Visa ranges from 30 days in Total–90 days in Total, depending on your nationality.
  • The e-Visa is valid for 180 days after arrival (usually same-day processing). If you apply outside the 180 days after arrival, we will hold your application and apply at the appropriate time. This means you can apply at any time.
  • The e-Visa for Turkey is a single or multiple entry visa, depending on your nationality. Please see the e-visa page to find out if you are eligible for a multiple entry visa.
  • You will need to apply for a new visa if the information provided during your visa application is different from the information on your passport.
  • Certain nationalities require a supporting document (visa or residence permit) from Schengen or from US, UK and Ireland. To view your requirements, please visit the e-visa page and enter your nationality.
  • The date of issue of the supporting document should not be later than the date of your trip.
  • The Turkey e-Visa is only valid for tourism and short business trips.
  • You must carry your passport with an expiration date at least 60 days beyond the duration of stay of your e-Visa. For example: In order to enter Turkey using an e-Visa with a 90-day “duration of stay”, the traveler must hold a valid passport for an additional 60 days, which totals 150 days (90 + 60 days) of validity at the time of entrance.
  • Immigration officers at the borders will stamp your passport when you enter and when you leave, so we advise you to have enough pages in your passport.
  • You do not have to get a visa if you are not going to leave the international transit area.
  • When your e-Visa expires, you are not allowed to apply for a new e-Visa without departing Turkey.
  • Travelers who arrive at sea ports and intend to visit the seaport cities or nearby provinces for tourist purposes are exempt from a visa, provided that their stay does not exceed seventy two (72) hours.
