The Turkey e-Visa allows a more accessible way to travel to Turkey for tourism, business, or transit purposes. By enabling online application and online issuance, the Turkish e-Visa is a quick and easy process, for all citizens eligible to apply for a Turkey e-Visa and travel to Turkey. In just a few simple steps, eligible applicants can submit their e-Visa online without having to go to a Turkish consular representation abroad in order to apply. A Turkey e-Visa is usually issued within 48 hours from the date of application.
The requirements you will need to meet to apply for a Turkey e-Visa depend on your nationality. While everyone who requires a visa to enter Turkey will need to provide the same basic requirements, some passport holders will be asked to provide additional requirements and details regarding their planned trip to Turkey. Regardless of the level of requirements you are asked to provide, all e-Visa applications can be easily applied for online and processed quickly.
Unless you are a citizen of a visa-exempt country, you must apply for a visa prior to travel to Turkey.
Depending on the nationality of the Turkish e-Visa applicant, some nationalities are required to provide just the basic requirements, while other nationalities are required to provide further additional requirements in addition to the basic requirements.

Applicants who are eligible to apply for the Turkey e-Visa by submitting only “basic requirements” will most likely be permitted a multiple-entry Turkey e-Visa. The number of days a multiple-entry e-Visa permits a traveler to be in Turkish territories is usually 90 days. However, travelers of some nationalities may only be allowed in Turkish territory for 30 days with a multi-entry e-Visa, yet still only need to submit the general Turkey e-Visa requirements.
