The launch of the Turkish e visa was welcomed by prospective tourists and business travellers to Turkey. For some nationals, the famous Turkish sticker visa was replaced by an electronic visa in 2013. Previously, it was a sticker pasted to the traveller’s passport or a piece of paper at the border crossing or port of entry. This new online approach is time-saving and straightforward, and it is a tremendous relief for visitors because they will not need to wait in line for sticker visas. Following the launch of the e-visa scheme, the Turkish government issued a statement saying that travellers will get permits on arrival for the 2014 tourism season, making the transition time more straightforward for both tourists and authorities.
The Turkey visa online is a govt document that allows travellers to enter Turkey. Applicants complete out the relevant information on the online form, pay with a credit or debit card, and receive their visas electronically from the comfort of their own homes. Because the Customs And immigration Officers at the entry points verify the e-visa in their system, applicants must maintain a printout of the e-visa and bring it with them during their journey. It’s now just a matter of a few clicks, and you’ll have your e-visa in hand in no time.
Since January 1, 2015, visitors entering Turkey have been required to have a passport valid for at least 60 days beyond their visa or residence permit expiry. In addition to a valid passport and e-visa, visitors must have confirmed onward or roundtrip reservation documents and sufficient money to cover their expenses in Turkey ($50 per day).
