  • Nationals who still require a visa (e.g. US, Canada, Australia, India) can obtain a single/multiple-entry e-Visa online at the official portal evisa.gov.tr before travel.
  • The official e-Visa portal is evisa.gov.tr, run by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs; beware of look-alike third-party sites that add service charges.
  • e-Visa fees vary by nationality and are shown only after selecting country and passport type; US citizens are commonly charged around USD 50. Passport should be valid at least 150 days from entry.
