Turkey visa for United Kingdom passport holders

You don't need a visa for a tourist visit, as long as you stay within the limit and meet the conditions below.

The ordinary-passport tourist exemption allows up to 90 days, subject to the general aggregate limit of 90 days in 180 days and any passport-specific conditions. Some nationality agreements use a six-month period; check your applicable rule. The British exemption covers British citizens only.

British citizens with ordinary passports may visit for up to 90 days. British National (Overseas), British Subject and British Protected Person passport holders need a visa; contact the responsible Turkish mission for the application route.

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Older instructions to submit it within 72 hours before travel are superseded.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.

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.

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.

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.
