Key Requirements

  • Qualifying visa or residence permit from Schengen, the US, UK or Ireland, valid on the date you enter Turkey
  • Passport validity: the general legal minimum is 60 days beyond the permitted stay (90 days on arrival for a 30-day visa); MFA recommends at least 6 months from arrival. Follow any additional India-specific application conditions
  • Return ticket, hotel reservation and evidence of at least US$50 for each day of the stay
  • Tourism or business purpose; complete every prerequisite displayed for your nationality and travel document

Step-by-Step Application Process

  1. 1

    Open https://www.evisa.gov.tr/en/ and select India and your passport type

  2. 2

    Check the prerequisites and travel dates; if you do not qualify, arrange a visa through the Turkish mission before travel

  3. 3

    Enter passport details exactly, verify your email and pay the current fee using an accepted card

  4. 4

    Download the issued eVisa from the link provided after successful completion; retain a digital or printed copy

  5. 5

    Carry your passport, qualifying supporting document and evidence for the entry conditions

Documents Required

  • Passport meeting the validity conditions shown for your application
  • Qualifying Schengen, US, UK or Irish visa/residence permit valid on entry; another country’s eVisa does not qualify
  • Return ticket, accommodation reservation and proof of at least US$50 per day
  • Issued Turkish eVisa, plus access to email and an accepted payment card when applying

Pro Tips

  • Apply at least 48 hours before departure rather than relying on immediate processing
  • Keep the issued eVisa accessible offline and check every passport detail before payment
  • For a trip with more than one entry into Turkey, arrange the appropriate permission instead of treating a single-entry eVisa as reusable

Important Notes

  • • The Indian conditional eVisa is single-entry for up to 30 days; this guide does not offer a 90-day multiple-entry upgrade
  • • The eVisa permits tourism or business, not employment or study
  • • The date window for entering and the allowed length of stay are different; follow both dates on the issued eVisa
  • • Official entry-point guidance differs: a 2025 Los Angeles consular notice limits eVisa entry to airports, while a 2015 Doha notice allowed Indian holders through all border gates. Confirm a land or sea arrival with Turkish authorities before booking
  • • The official airline-restriction FAQ does not list India. Check the current prerequisites for your application; do not assume rules for Egyptian or other passport holders apply to Indians
