  • What is an e-Visa?

    An e-Visa is an official document permitting entry into and travel within Türkiye.

    The e-Visa is an alternative to visas issued at Turkish missions and at the ports of entry.

    Applicants obtain their visas electronically after entering required information and making payments by a credit or debit card (Mastercard, Visa or UnionPay).

    The link to download your e-Visa is given on the final step where you will be informed that your application has been completed successfully. In addition, the same link to download your e-Visa will be emailed to you. Passport control officers at ports of entry can verify your e-Visa on their system. However, you are advised to keep your e-Visa with you either as a soft copy (tablet PC, smart phone, etc.) or as a hard copy in case of any failure on their system.

    As in the case of other visas, respective Turkish officials at the ports of entry reserves the right to deny entry into Türkiye to a holder of an Indian e-Visa FAQ without any explanation.

  • What do I need for my e-Visa application?

    In accordance with the article 7.1b of “the Law on Foreigners and International Protection” no.6458, foreigners wishing to enter Türkiye must carry a passport or a travel document as a substitute for passport with an expiration date at least 60 days beyond the “duration of stay” of their visa, e-Visa, visa exemption, or residence permit. Depending on your nationality, there may be additional requirements. You will be informed of these requirements after you select your country of travel document and travel dates.

    An e-Visa can be obtained easily anywhere with an internet connection and it saves time that you would otherwise spend on visa applications at Turkish missions or at the ports of entry into Türkiye (if you are eligible).
