It depends on your passport. Many nationalities are visa-exempt for short visits, others can apply for an eVisa online, and some need a consular visa. Check your nationality in our eligible countries guide.
Every visitor is limited to 90 days within any 180-day period, and some nationalities have shorter limits. To stay longer, you need a residence permit.
No. The eVisa covers tourism and commerce only. Work and study need a consular visa and a residence permit — see our guides to work permits and studying in Türkiye.
There is no visa called a retirement visa, but retirees settle in Türkiye on residence permits, with real advantages. Read our guide to retiring in Türkiye.
Most applications are completed within a few hours, and never more than 48 hours with our service. See our guide to processing times.
The eVisa form is short, but a single wrong character in a passport number, a mistyped email address or a misunderstanding about eligibility can delay your trip. Our specialists review every application against your passport before it is submitted, answer your questions 7 days a week, and make sure your approved eVisa reaches you.
