Turkey eVisa: More information
To travel to the Turkish country, most nationalities need a visa. You can easily obtain your Turkish visa online. It has a total validity of 180 days, which starts from your entry to the country. This visa allows a stay of 30 days for the single entry visa, and 90 days for the multiple entry visa. The duration and conditions of the visa depend on the nationality of the applicant.
Each government reserves the right of admission, so you may be denied entry to the country, even if our visa has been approved.
Each traveller will be treated individually upon arrival by the immigration officer at the airport, port or border crossing into Turkey. You must not lie or omit information about the personal information requested from you. Lying can cause you to be denied entry, just as it will if they consider that you represent a threat to security or national interests.
