Turkey Visa & e-Visa Guide
Do you need a visa for Turkey? It depends on your nationality. Find your country below for a clear, up-to-date guide to the Turkey e-Visa — eligibility, cost, validity, processing time and documents.
Most international visitors to Turkey need either an e-Visa or a sticker visa, but the exact rules differ by nationality. Some travellers can apply online in minutes; others must hold a supporting visa or residence permit from a Schengen country, the USA, the UK or Ireland; and a few must apply at a consulate. Knowing which group you fall into before you book saves time and avoids surprises at the airport.
These guides are written in plain language for ordinary (tourist) passport holders travelling for tourism or short business. They cover whether you need a visa, e-Visa eligibility and conditions, how to apply on the official portal, approximate cost and validity, processing time, the documents to prepare and what happens when you land.
⚠ Visa rules can change — always confirm current requirements on the official Republic of Türkiye e-Visa site (www.evisa.gov.tr) before travel. The fees and conditions in these guides are approximate guidance, not a guarantee.

Do Indians need a visa for Turkey in 2026?
Yes. Indian passport holders need a visa to enter Turkey. Many Indian travellers can use the online conditional e-Visa if they hold a valid visa or residence permit from the Schengen area, the USA, the UK or Ireland; otherwise they apply for a sticker visa at a Turkish consulate. Confirm the latest rules on evisa.gov.tr.
Can Indian citizens get a Turkey e-Visa?
Yes, but on a conditional basis. An Indian citizen is eligible for the e-Visa only if they hold a valid visa or residence permit from a Schengen country, the USA, the UK or Ireland. Without one of those, the e-Visa is not available and you must apply for a regular sticker visa.
How much does a Turkey visa cost for Indian citizens?
The conditional e-Visa for Indians is usually inexpensive — commonly around USD 40–60 including the service fee — but the exact price is shown on the official portal when you apply. Treat any figure as approximate and confirm it on evisa.gov.tr before paying.
How long is the Turkey e-Visa valid for Indians?
It is typically a single-entry e-Visa allowing a stay of up to 30 days, valid for 180 days from issue, within which you must enter Turkey. Always check the validity printed on your own approved e-Visa.
