Arrival forms & authorizations

No arrival card required

The former Form for Entry to Türkiye is no longer required. The requirement was abolished on 3 March 2022.

Older instructions to submit it within 72 hours before travel are superseded. A visa or eVisa, when required for your passport, is a separate requirement. Customs and other itinerary-specific documents can still apply.

Onward travel

Recommended

Türkiye's official guidance doesn't set a return-ticket rule for all tourists. Some eVisa options, depending on your nationality and supporting documents, require a return ticket and travel with particular airlines; follow the conditions shown when you apply. Carry proof of departure.

Travel insurance

Recommended

Visa applicants need medical insurance valid throughout their stay. Travel insurance is recommended for visa-exempt ordinary tourists; a universal compulsory border requirement for that group has not been confirmed. Follow the insurance conditions of your particular visa or entry route.

Other information

These conditions are for a regular tourist visit. Where you live, your visa status and the route you take can change what applies to you.

  • Short stays, visa-free or on an eVisa, are usually up to 90 days within 180 days; limits for some passports are shorter.
  • Your passport normally must be valid beyond your permitted stay. Eligibility for some eVisas depends on supporting visas or residence documents, your age and how you travel.
  • Visa applicants can be required to hold medical insurance. Check the conditions of your visa.
