Türkiye is a mixed visa regime: citizens of many EU states, the UK and several other countries may enter visa-free for up to 90 days in any 180, while travellers from the US, Canada, Australia, India, China and many others must obtain an e-Visa (or, if not e-Visa eligible, a consular visa) BEFORE travel — visas are generally not issued on arrival. Apply only through the official portal (evisa.gov.tr); typical e-Visa fee is around USD 50–60 and approval is usually issued within minutes to 72 hours. Passports must be valid for at least 150 days beyond your entry date, and border officers may ask for a return ticket, hotel booking and proof of funds.
Estimated cost: Varies by visa type and nationality (check official site).
Processing: Varies by nationality; apply several weeks before travel.
