Several nationalities can only get the Turkey e-visa under "conditions." Getting these right is the difference between approval and a wasted application.
What "conditional" means
You must hold a valid visa or residence permit from a qualifying country — commonly the US, UK, Schengen area or Ireland — and usually a confirmed hotel booking for your stay.
Which supporting documents qualify
- A valid (not expired) visa or residence permit from a qualifying country
- For some, the supporting visa must be single/multiple entry as specified
- A hotel reservation covering your trip
Common pitfalls
Using an expired supporting visa, mismatched passport details, or skipping the hotel requirement are the usual reasons for trouble at the border.
FAQs
Does an e-visa from another country count? Generally it must be a qualifying visa/residence — check the exact terms for your nationality.
