How the Türkiye visa works

Türkiye's e-Visa is available to Indian nationals on a conditional basis: you must hold a valid visa or residence permit from a Schengen country, the United States, United Kingdom or Ireland, and the supporting visa must be valid on the date you enter Türkiye. Applicants who do not meet that condition file a sticker visa application at the Turkish consulate, which is slower and requires a full financial file. The most common failure is booking a trip on the assumption of e-Visa eligibility and discovering that the supporting Schengen visa expires two days before the Istanbul arrival date.

Issuing authority: Republic of Türkiye e-Visa system

Where Türkiye applications go wrong

Your supporting visa must be valid on the entry date

Not on the application date — on the day you land in Türkiye. A Schengen visa that expires mid-trip invalidates the e-Visa and means refused boarding.

e-Residence and single-entry conditions

The supporting visa or residence permit generally cannot be an electronic visa itself, and specific categories are excluded. The conditions are published and change periodically.

Consulate route needs a full financial file

Applicants without a qualifying supporting visa go through the consulate with bank statements, employment proof, insurance and bookings — closer to a Schengen file than to an e-Visa form.

The process, step by step

1
Eligibility check
We verify whether your supporting visa qualifies and is valid on your intended entry date — the step travellers skip most often.
2
Route selection
Eligible applicants go the e-Visa route; everyone else gets a consulate file prepared instead of losing days to a rejected e-Visa.
3
Filing
The e-Visa is filed on the official government portal, or the consulate application submitted with the full document set.
4
Approval
e-Visas are usually issued within one to three working days. Consulate applications take considerably longer.
