Turkey: e-Visa

Eligible visitors can get a Turkish e-Visa online in a few minutes. The Turkish embassy in New Delhi notes that it is treated as equivalent to a sticker visa issued at a Turkish mission.

Who needs it

Eligibility and the fee depend on your nationality and travel document. You choose your passport on the portal and it shows what applies to you.

Key facts

• The portal has a status page where you can check an e-visa you already hold.
• If you paid a non-official site, you can use that status page to see whether your e-visa is valid.
• Turkish missions say no handling company is delegated to issue or facilitate e-visas.

Watch out for

Turkish embassies warn that sites other than evisa.gov.tr claiming to issue e-visas are fake, and that some apply on your behalf and charge more than twice the official price.

Before you pay

Check that the address matches the link above, confirm the amount on the portal, and never pay a site that adds a large service fee. Our guide to spotting fake visa websites explains the warning signs, and the FAQ covers common questions.
