Cappadocia at dawn
Drift over fairy chimneys in a hot-air balloon — the sunrise nobody forgets.
Two continents, one city
Istanbul spans Europe and Asia — Hagia Sophia, the Grand Bazaar, the Bosphorus at dusk.

Choose Your Entry
1 option availableHow It Works
Three steps between you and your entry.
Complete the application
Passport details and travel dates. A few minutes — saved as you go.
Secure payment
Government fee plus our processing fee, itemised before you pay.
Receive by email
The moment the authorities issue it, we email it straight to you — print it or carry it on your phone.
Before you apply
Applying for your Turkey travel authorisation
Turkey's travel authorisation is issued by Republic of Türkiye, Ministry of Foreign Affairs. govr.me is a private, independent service — we are not a government department. We check your documents, complete the official form and submit your application for you. You can also apply yourself, directly and for the government fee only, at the official portal authority website.
What it costs
Prices in USD. Our fee pays for our help only; it does not buy a faster government decision. Applying directly at the official portal costs the government fee alone.
UK passport holders no longer need an entry for stays up to 90 days (since 2 March 2024). EU/EEA, Japan, Korea, Singapore, Brazil and others are also exempt — entry stamp at border only.
Passport
- Valid for at least 6 months from your application date.
- At least 1 blank page.
- Türkiye officially requires 60 days beyond stay, but airlines enforce the stricter 6-month rule.
Photo
No photo required for this destination.
Documents you'll need

- payment card, Mastercard, or UnionPay card
- Schengen / US / UK / Ireland entry or residence permit (only for nationalities on the conditional track)

Do
- Use a passport with at least 6 months validity from arrival.
- Double-check your passport number, surname, and given names against the MRZ.
- Apply at least 48 hours before departure as a buffer.
- Print a paper copy of the entry PDF AND keep a copy on your phone.
- Use the official portal the authority website only — type the URL directly.
- Carry the supporting Schengen/US/UK entry in your passport at the Turkish border.
Don't
- Don't apply via lookalike sites that copy the official portal — they charge $80–120 in service fees.
- Don't enter dates in the wrong format — the portal expects DD/MM/YYYY.
- Don't list the wrong port of entry — mismatches sometimes prompt secondary screening.
- Don't overstay — Turkish overstays trigger automatic re-entry bans (1 month – 5 years).
- Don't submit two applications for the same passport — payments may be charged twice.
- Don't plan to work, study, or stay >90 days — the entry is strictly tourism/short business.
Why applications are refused
Decisions rest entirely with Republic of Türkiye, Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The most common reasons an application is turned down:
- Passport scan or document number doesn't match an MRZ check (typo).
- Supporting Schengen/US/UK entry is expired or has been used up.
- Nationality is on the embassy-only list and applicant bypassed it.
- Payment failure or chargeback flagged the application.
- Previous Türkiye overstay or deportation on record.
