Turkey visa requirements

Whether you need a visa for Turkey (Türkiye) depends on your nationality and the purpose of your trip. Many travelers are eligible for the Turkey eVisa, an electronic travel authorization for tourism or business visits that is linked to your passport, while others may be visa-exempt or need to apply through a Turkish embassy.

Start your application and iVisa will confirm exactly which Turkey travel document you need based on your nationality and trip, then prepare, review, and file it for you.

General Turkey visa requirements are:

Requirements verified against official government sources

  • Passport (minimum validity: 60 days beyond the permitted stay; effectively 150–180 days for most)
  • Scan of your valid residence permit or qualifying third-country visa (required only for certain nationalities from Africa and Asia)
  • Valid email address
  • Valid payment method (credit or debit card)

Turkey visa FAQs

What travelers commonly ask about Turkey visas.

Still have questions?

Our visa experts are available 24/7 on chat, email, and WhatsApp.

Do I need a visa to travel to Türkiye?

It depends on your nationality. While many countries (like those in the EU, UK, US, and Canada) are visa-exempt for stays up to 90 days, citizens of dozens of others must obtain an eVisa. Australia update: Since April 2026, Australian citizens are officially visa-exempt for tourism. Use our visa checker to verify the latest status for your specific passport.

How will I receive the Turkey eVisa?

Your eVisa will be sent to you as a PDF via email. While Turkish border officials can verify your visa digitally using your passport, it is highly recommended to keep a printed copy or a digital version on your phone in case of local system outages at the border. If you applied through iVisa, you can also find your PDF document in your dashboard.

Can I work in Türkiye on a Tourist eVisa?

No. The eVisa is strictly for tourism and light business commerce (such as attending conferences, meetings, or trade fairs). If you intend to work or study in Türkiye, you must apply for a specific visa through a Turkish Embassy or Consulate.

Do children/minors need a Turkish eVisa?

Yes. Every traveler, regardless of age, must have their own travel authorization. If a child has their own passport, they must have their own eVisa. You can easily add family members to a single application on the iVisa platform.

Are Türkiye and Turkey the same country?

Yes. In 2022, the country officially changed its international name to Türkiye to better represent its culture. While we use the official name in documentation, we may still refer to it as "Turkey" for search and clarity purposes.

What happens if my Turkish eVisa application is denied?

Denials are rare and usually happen due to typos in passport numbers or using an invalid supporting visa (from the US/Schengen). iVisa's expert review is designed to catch these errors. We also offer optional denial protection to support you if a rejection occurs.
