Entry Requirements Checker

Turkey is not part of the Schengen Area or the European Union. Entry rules depend on nationality: travelers from many European countries can generally stay up to 90 days within any 180-day period without a visa, while other nationalities need to apply for an e-Visa online before departure.

Good to know

A machine-readable or biometric passport valid for at least six months beyond your entry date is generally required.
The 90-day limit applies within any 180-day period, so track your cumulative time in Turkey carefully if you visit more than once.
Only apply for an e-Visa through the official evisa.gov.tr website; third-party sites charge extra fees for the same service.
An e-Visa or visa for Turkey does not cover any Schengen country, since Turkey is outside the Schengen Area.
Entry is always decided by a Turkish border officer on arrival, even with a valid e-Visa or visa.

Entry requirements can change. Always confirm the current rules on the official Turkish e-Visa website (evisa.gov.tr) or with your nearest Turkish consulate before booking. travel.state.gov · canada.ca
