Foreigners
The Electronic Visa (e-Visa) Application System was
launched on 17 April 2013 by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs
of the Republic of Türkiye. This system allows visitors
travelling to Türkiye to easily obtain their e-Visas online
(www.evisa.gov.tr), in approximately three minutes.

It is possible to obtain e-Visa 7/24 at everywhere with

internet connection. The applicants can obtain their visa
a"er they fill in the necessary information concerning their
identity, passport and travel dates and pay visa fee online.

Please note that e-visa is only valid when the purpose of

travel is tourism or commerce. For other purposes, such as
work and study, visas are given by Turkish Embassies or
Consulates.

The term "official passports" covers diplomatic, service,

special and official passports.

You are kindly advised to have a travel document/passport

valid for at least 6 months as from the date of your arrival in
Türkiye.

nationals to easily obtain their visas.

- In addition to English, French, and Spanish; Dutch,

Norwegian, Polish, German, Arabic and Chinese language
options will be added to the e-Visa system.
