Frequently Asked Questions
The Turkey e-Visa is an electronic travel authorization issued by the Turkish government that allows eligible citizens to enter Turkey for tourism and business purposes without obtaining a traditional visa stamp. It's obtained entirely online and sent to your email.
Most Turkey e-Visa applications are approved instantly, usually within minutes. Some applications may take up to 24 hours. With GoVisa's express service, we ensure your application is reviewed and submitted immediately to maximize your chances of instant approval.
If you're transiting through Turkey (less than 24 hours in the country and not leaving the airport), you generally don't need an e-Visa. However, if you'll be leaving the airport for any reason, you must have a valid e-Visa. It's best to check with your airline or contact our support team to confirm your specific situation.
The e-Visa itself cannot be extended. However, once you're in Turkey, you can apply for a residence permit at the local immigration office if you need to stay longer. Planning your trip within the 90-day maximum stay is recommended.
The Turkey e-Visa is accepted at all major airports including Istanbul (IST), Ankara (ESB), and Izmir (ADB), as well as all major seaports and most land border crossings. Always verify with your airline or the Turkish immigration authorities if you're traveling to a less common entry point.
