Documents
Always required
Passport or travel document valid for at least 60 days beyond the end of the permitted stay (typically 150+ days total validity for a 90‑day stay) with readable biographical page.
MFA requires passports to be valid at least 60 days beyond the end of the visa, e‑Visa or visa‑exempt stay; many consulates and e‑Visa guidance recommend at least 6 months validity as a practical minimum. Passport must be the same document used for the e‑Visa application and presented on arrival.
Proof of accommodation in Türkiye for the intended stay, such as hotel reservations or an invitation letter with address details from a host.
Many e‑Visa‑eligible travellers are required to show hotel reservations covering their stay; consulates and airlines may also request this for verification. If staying with friends or relatives, a signed invitation including host’s full name, address and contact details is commonly requested.
Evidence of sufficient financial means for the stay in Türkiye (e.g. recent bank statements, credit card limits, or cash), typically at least USD 50 per person per day of stay.
Third‑party e‑Visa guidance and airline check‑in practices commonly apply a benchmark of around USD 50 per day; exact amounts are not codified in MFA law but may be used by border officers. Recent bank statements, pay slips or internationally accepted credit cards are typically accepted as proof of funds.
Printed copy or downloadable PDF of the approved Turkish e‑Visa to be presented with the passport on arrival.
The e‑Visa approval is sent by e‑mail; travellers are advised to print a copy or save it on a mobile device and present it together with their passport at border control. Carriers may request the e‑Visa printout at check‑in as proof of eligibility to board flights to Türkiye.
Confirmed onward or return flight ticket from Türkiye within the authorised e‑Visa stay period (up to 30 days for this rule).
Single‑entry, short‑stay e‑Visa holders are expected to show proof of exit within the authorised 30‑day stay; airlines and border officers may deny boarding/entry without it. Electronic tickets or booking confirmations issued by the airline or travel agency are generally accepted.
Recommended
Travel health insurance covering medical treatment and emergency care in Türkiye for the full duration of the stay.
MFA notes that visitors are generally required or strongly expected to have medical insurance valid in Türkiye; some consulates treat it as mandatory for visa issuance. Policy should clearly state coverage dates including the entire planned stay; Schengen‑style policies with at least EUR 30,000 medical coverage are commonly accepted.
Travel tips
Quick local advice for smoother arrivals and day-to-day travel.
1
In Istanbul, get an Istanbulkart early: it works across most public transport (metro, trams, buses, ferries) and you can top up as you go—hugely easier than single tickets and reduces time in queues.
2
If you do take a taxi: make sure the meter is on, and pay in Turkish lira (TRY). If someone pushes for EUR/USD or a ‘fixed tourist price,’ switch to another taxi or use an ordering app to get an estimate before you ride.
