Turkey e-Visafor 🇮🇳 Indian citizens travelling to 🇹🇷 Turkey
Indian citizens must apply for a Turkey e-Visa online before travelling to Turkey. Submit your application through the official government portal, upload the required documents, and pay the visa fee electronically. Approval is typically emailed within a few business days. You may stay up to 30 days per entry.
Verified 2026-06-20: The Turkey e-Visa is CONDITIONAL for Indian passport holders — it is granted only to those who already hold a valid visa or residence permit of the Schengen Area, the USA, the UK or Ireland, which must still be valid on the date of entry to Turkey. The e-Visa is single entry, valid 180 days from issue, and permits a stay of up to 30 days. Indian nationals WITHOUT one of those supporting visas cannot use the e-Visa and must obtain a consular sticker visa from a Turkish mission. Apply for the e-Visa only on the official portal evisa.gov.tr to avoid third-party fees. Passport valid 6+ months, onward ticket and proof of funds required.

- !Name, date-of-birth or passport-number mismatch between the application, the passport and the supporting visa.
