Start here — check your own case
Visa rules depend on your nationality, your passport type and sometimes on visas or residence permits you already hold. They also change. We will not print a country list here that could be out of date by the time you read it — instead, check the official Turkish government portal, which answers for your exact passport in under a minute:
Official Republic of Türkiye e-Visa portal — evisa.gov.tr
If the portal says your nationality is not eligible for an e-Visa, you apply at a Turkish embassy or consulate instead. That takes longer — start early.
How the e-Visa works
Check before you book the flight
- Passport validity. Türkiye requires your passport to stay valid for a period beyond your visa's stay. The exact rule is stated on the official portal during the application — read it there and compare it with your passport's expiry date before buying tickets. If your passport expires within six months of travel, renew it first; that is the safe side of every version of the rule.
- Name spelling. The name on the e-Visa must match the passport exactly.
- Length of stay. Your permitted stay may be shorter than the visa's validity period. The portal shows both — our tours are well inside normal limits, but if you are extending your trip privately, check the number.
- Onward ticket and accommodation. Border officers may ask to see them. We send you a hotel confirmation for your booked nights; keep it reachable offline.
What we do — and what we don't
We do not sell visas and we are not a visa agency. Visa and e-Visa fees are paid directly to the government, and they are not included in our tour prices — you will see this written in the "what is not included" list of every programme we sell.
What we can do:
- Send you a confirmation letter and hotel vouchers for your booked tour, if your consulate asks for them.
- Confirm your exact travel dates and itinerary in writing for your application.
- Tell you honestly if we think your timing is too tight — and hold your place on a later departure instead.
What we cannot do: apply on your behalf, promise an outcome, or advise on immigration matters. Those belong to the authorities and, where needed, to a licensed adviser.
Common questions
- I hold a valid Schengen, UK, US or Irish visa. Does that help?
- For some nationalities it changes which route applies. The official portal asks you this during the application and answers it for your passport — let it decide rather than relying on hearsay.
- Can I get a visa at the airport on arrival?
- Do not plan on it. Airlines check documents at departure, so a missing visa usually stops you before you reach Türkiye. Apply before you fly.
- I am travelling with children.
- Each traveller needs their own passport and, if required, their own visa — including infants.
- My nationality is not on the e-Visa list.
- Then it is a consulate application. Allow several weeks, and tell us early so we can keep your place.
- Do I need travel insurance?
- We strongly advise it and we do not sell it. Some consulates require proof of insurance as part of a visa application — check yours.
Still unsure? Write to us.
Tell us your nationality, the passport you will travel on and your dates. We will point you to the right official page and tell you if the timing worries us. We would rather move you to a later departure than watch you lose a flight.
