Turkey

Do you need a visa for Turkey?

It depends on your nationality and reason for traveling. Many countries are exempt from this requirement, and some can even travel with their ID instead of a passport, like some European Union member states.

In most cases, citizens of eligible nationalities can process their visas entirely online if they are traveling for tourism and/or business.

What is the eVisa for Turkey?

Foreign citizens of eligible nationalities can apply online for the Turkey eVisa if they travel for tourism or business. It is a multiple-entry eVisa that allows the holder to stay for up to 90 days within a 180-day period.

However, for some nationalities, the eVisa will be issued as single-entry, with a maximum stay allowed of 30 days instead of 90.

If you are eligible for the Tourist eVisa, you can select urgent processing to guarantee that your application is processed within 24 hours.

  • Armenia
  • Cyprus
