Turkey is one of the most stunning destinations for Indian travellers — Istanbul’s Grand Bazaar, the surreal Cappadocia hot air balloons, and the turquoise Aegean coast. The great news: Indians can get a Turkey e-Visa online in minutes, no embassy visit needed. Here’s everything you need to know.
Do Indians Need a Visa for Turkey?
Yes — Indian passport holders require a visa to visit Turkey. However, Turkey offers an e-Visa system that allows Indians to apply entirely online at evisa.gov.tr. It’s one of the simplest visa processes available for Indians.
Types of Turkey Visas for Indians
| Visa Type | Stay Allowed | Entries | Fee |
|---|---|---|---|
| Turkey e-Visa (Single Entry) | 30 days | Single | ~$51 USD (~₹4,200) |
| Turkey e-Visa (Multiple Entry) | 30 days per visit | Multiple (180 days) | ~$100 USD (~₹8,300) |
Fees are approximate and subject to change. Check evisa.gov.tr for current rates.
Turkey e-Visa: Documents Required for Indians
- Valid Indian passport (at least 6 months validity, valid for the duration of your stay)
- Valid email address (the e-Visa will be sent here)
- Credit/debit card for payment
- Passport bio-data page (scanned copy for upload)
Note: Unlike most other countries, Turkey’s e-Visa does not require bank statements, employment letters, hotel bookings, or flight itineraries for the online application itself. These may be checked by Turkish immigration officers at the airport.

Most Turkey e-Visa applications for Indians are processed within 24–72 hours. Some applications are approved within minutes. Apply at least 3 days before travel — and never leave it to the day before departure.
Turkey e-Visa Validity
Your Turkey e-Visa is typically valid for 180 days from the date of issue. You must enter Turkey within this 180-day window. Once inside, you can stay for up to 30 days (single entry) or multiple 30-day stays (multiple entry) within the 180-day validity.
