Apply for Turkey e-Visa
The Turkey e-Visa is an official document that allows entry into Turkey for tourism and business purposes. It is linked to your passport and offers flexibility based on your nationality. With our secure online application process, accessible on any device with internet access, it is quick and easy to apply for Turkey e-Visa. Moreover, citizens from 100 countries are eligible to apply.
Turkey E-Visa Validity
The validity of your Turkey e-Visa depends on the country that issued your travel document. Once approved, it is valid for 180 days. The minimum stay allowed is 30 days, and the maximum is 90 days, although not all citizens are eligible for the full 90-day stay. Furthermore, if you have a single-entry visa, you must use the approved number of days consecutively. However, with a multiple-entry e-Visa, you can split your stay as desired.
For instance, let’s consider Jack, who received a multiple-entry Turkey e-Visa on January 1st. It is valid for a 60-day stay for tourism purposes starting on April 1st. This means his e-Visa is valid from April 1st to October 1st. During this period, Jack can stay in Turkey for a total of 60 days, either consecutively or intermittently. It’s important to comply with the conditions of your e-Visa to avoid penalties, deportation, or a ban.
Acceptable Travel Purpose for E-Visa
The Turkish government introduced the Turkey visa application to provide a convenient and cost-effective way for “short stay” travelers to obtain a travel document for their visit. For instance, the e-Visa is specifically granted for tourism, transit, and trade purposes.
Tourist travelers are individuals who come to Turkey for leisure, to reunite with friends and family, or to explore popular tourist destinations. Furthermore, even visiting Turkey on a cruise ship and disembarking from international transit areas falls under the category of tourism. Turkey offers a wealth of fascinating places to explore, including mosques, gardens, historical sites, and the renowned city of Istanbul.
Business travelers are individuals who travel to Turkey to meet potential clients, establish business connections, or participate in conferences and training programs. However, it is important to note that a business traveler is not permitted to sign contracts or provide services to a Turkish employer. Exceptions may be made for business travelers who are formally employed by a company in their home country.
Dealing With E-Visa Rejection
A significant number of people who apply for Turkey e-Visa are declined due to inaccurate, fraudulent, or incomplete data. It is crucial to ensure that even the smallest details are error-free to avoid application rejection. That’s why we offer assistance to our customers in verifying their information against their biographical data, identifying any mistakes or omissions.
But the Turkish government typically does not provide specific reasons for denying applications. However, based on our experience, we have identified common reasons for rejection, which include:
- The applicant’s name matches or is similar to a name on the banned list for Turkey.
- The applicant currently holds a valid visa or e-Visa for Turkey.
- The applicant is perceived to have intentions of overstaying or engaging in activities beyond the scope of tourism, transit, or business.
- The applicant failed to provide complete information in the application.
- The applicant’s passport does not meet the required validity criteria.
- The applicant is from a country exempt from requiring a visa for Turkey.
If an application is rejected, the applicant has the option to submit a new application online after 24 hours. It is crucial to ensure that all information is entered correctly in the second attempt. If the application is rejected again, it is advisable for the applicant to consider factors other than incorrect information for the refusal. In such cases, visiting the nearest Turkish embassy or consulate to lodge a complaint and possibly apply for a sticker or stamped visa is recommended.
