Türkiye operates an official Electronic Visa (e‑Visa) system, which allows eligible foreign nationals to obtain an e‑Visa online for tourism and business purposes only. Applications must be submitted exclusively via the official government portal operated by the Turkish Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
For stays or purposes not covered by the e‑Visa system, visas must be obtained prior to travel from a Turkish Embassy or Consulate. This includes activities that may qualify as work and are not covered by a work permit exemption.
Nationals of many countries are exempt from the visa requirement for short‑term stays in Türkiye, generally for up to 90 days within any 180‑day period, subject to nationality‑specific rules. This includes, among others, citizens of Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Portugal, Greece, Luxembourg, Malta, Liechtenstein, Georgia, and the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus.
Visa‑exemption conditions and permitted lengths of stay vary depending on nationality and passport type and should always be verified prior to travel.

Travellers must hold a passport or travel document that is valid for at least 60 days beyond the end of the permitted stay under the applicable visa, e‑Visa or visa‑exemption regime.
