The passport used for travel matters, not just where you live. There are three situations for tourist trips.
French, Moroccan and Tunisian passport holders, among others: up to 90 days, subject to stay conditions. Most EU passports are also exempt; Cyprus is a different case. No visa service needs to be purchased for an exempt stay.
Senegal, India or Pakistan: an accepted supporting visa or residence permit and other requirements. For Algeria, Egypt, Iraq and Libya, age can change the procedure. Other passports may also qualify for an e-Visa through the portal.
If you need a visa and do not meet e-Visa requirements, use the consular procedure. Cameroon, Côte d’Ivoire, Mali or DR Congo: ordinary passports require a visa; our e-Visa service is not assigned automatically.
A French residence permit alone does not provide a Turkish visa exemption. A foreign e-Visa does not replace a required supporting visa or residence permit. Work, study, travel documents and special passports need separate assessment.
Rules consulted on 24 October 2026. The checker gives guidance: it does not issue visas or guarantee entry.
Requirements depend on your passport.
A clear copy of the identity page. Check the required validity for your trip.
A qualifying valid visa or residence permit, if required for your nationality.
Arrival and departure dates. Transport, accommodation and funds where required.
The official portal determines all requirements for each traveller.
An order reference is issued only after server-confirmed payment. Then send documents by email or WhatsApp, quoting that reference. Documents are not submitted automatically.
No. Some nationalities benefit from an exemption. Requirements depend on passport, age and trip.
These are indicative service times from receipt of a complete, eligible application. They do not guarantee an authority decision.
The server checks the amount, merchant and completed status with PayPal. A browser message alone is not payment confirmation. If the service is unavailable, payment buttons stay disabled.
In the final service, send them by email or WhatsApp with the order reference after server-confirmed payment.
No. Turkish authorities decide on visa issuance and admission.
The general rule is 60 days beyond the permitted stay, with document-specific exceptions. The Ministry recommends a passport valid for at least six months on arrival.
No. Check visa validity dates, permitted entries and the maximum time you may spend in Turkey separately.
Each traveller who needs an e-Visa requires an individual application. Check the rules for children before departure.
