Turkey issues visas in two main ways, and which one you need depends on your nationality and the documents you hold.
The e-visa
Fully online, fast, and ideal for short tourist stays. Available to many nationalities directly, and to others on a "conditional" basis (with a supporting visa/residence).
The sticker visa
Applied for at a Turkish consulate, required when you're not eligible for the e-visa or when your trip type falls outside e-visa scope. It takes longer, so plan ahead.
How to choose
- Eligible for the e-visa? Use it — it's quicker and simpler.
- Not eligible, or no supporting visa? Prepare for the sticker visa.
FAQs
Can I get a visa on arrival in Turkey? The e-visa has largely replaced visa on arrival — sort it before you fly.
