Turkey electronic visa (e-Visa)

No more waiting in the queue at the Turkish embassies or consulates or upon arrival in Turkey for a visa application. Since early 2013, Turkey has introduced E-Visa, a new endorsement that allows the bearer to enter Turkey, to replace “sticker”- and “stamp-type” visas formerly issued at the border crossing. With e-visa, applicants now can obtain their visa electronically after entering required information and making payment by credit card instead of waiting in a queue upon arrival to Turkey.

To apply e-visa to enter Turkey, visit Turkey e-visa web site. After successful application, e-Visa is e-mailed to the applicant. Applicants must print out their e-Visa, show it to airport officials and customs officers and carry it with them at all times during the travel. E-Visa is only valid for tourism or trade purposes. For other purposes such as work or study, an application through our Embassies or Consulates must be submitted.

All you need to apply for e-visa for Turkey is a minimum 6-month-valid passport, flight (or any other possible means of transportation) reservation and a credit card (Master or Visa).

Each e-visa application online costs $20 and you must apply per person and you can’t not apply for a group of people.

Below is a video showing how to apply Turkey visa online.
