Indian passport holders can visit Turkey with an e-Visa under certain conditions. Here is who qualifies, what you need and how to apply step by step.
Türkiye is one of the most popular international destinations for Indian travellers — for holidays, honeymoons and weddings alike. The visa process is straightforward for most applicants. This guide explains the current options clearly. Always confirm the latest rules on the official evisa.gov.tr portal before travelling.
e-Visa Eligibility
Indian citizens can generally apply for a Turkey e-Visa online if they hold a valid visa or residence permit from the USA, UK, Schengen countries or Ireland (and travel on a qualifying airline in some cases). Those without such a visa can apply for a sticker visa through official channels.
Documents You Need
- Passport valid at least 6 months beyond arrival
- The supporting US/UK/Schengen/Ireland visa (for e-Visa eligibility)
- Confirmed return tickets and hotel booking
- A working email and card for the e-Visa fee
How to Apply
Apply on the official e-Visa website, complete the form, pay the fee and receive the e-Visa by email — usually within minutes to 24 hours. Print a copy to carry. Prefer help? Our visa assistance service can guide you, and our Turkey packages from India guide helps you plan the trip.
