Required documents

The baseline checklist consular officers expect from Turkish applicants. Specific cases (students, business, family reunification) may require additional documents.

  • Passport valid at least 6 months beyond entry date
  • Completed online eVisa application
  • Recent digital passport photo
  • Confirmed accommodation booking
  • Return or onward flight reservation
  • Mandatory travel insurance (bundled with the eVisa)
  • Proof of sufficient funds (may be requested)

Apply smarter, not harder.

  1. The tourist eVisa does not permit Hajj; Umrah is possible during permitted periods.

  2. Insurance is bundled into the eVisa fee โ€” keep the confirmation handy.

  3. Respect local laws and dress codes, which apply to all visitors.

  4. AlUla and peak winter-tourism dates book up early โ€” plan ahead.

  5. Keep digital and printed copies of your eVisa and bookings.
