• The Electronic Visa (e-Visa) Application System was launched on 17 April 2013 by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Türkiye. This system allows visitors travelling to Türkiye to easily obtain their e-Visas online (www.evisa.gov.tr), in approximately three minutes.

It is possible to obtain e-Visa 7/24 at everywhere with internet connection. The applicants can obtain their visa after they fill in the necessary information concerning their identity, passport and travel dates and pay visa fee online.

• Please note that e-visa is only valid when the purpose of travel is tourism or commerce. For other purposes, such as work and study, visas are given by Turkish Embassies or Consulates.
• The term "official passports" covers diplomatic, service, special and official passports.

You are kindly advised to have a travel document/passport valid for at least 6 months as from the date of your arrival in Türkiye.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs continues efforts to strengthen the e-Visa system and to better enable foreign nationals to easily obtain their visas.

In this context,

Turkey is a highly popular summer holiday destination for British travellers, thanks to its reliably scorching weather, wealth of beach resorts in Bodrum and Antalya and fantastically rich culture found in cities like Istanbul and Ankara.

For a time, it was wary of letting in tourists, requiring proof of vaccination or a negative test for entry. However, it has now joined a number of European countries in scrapping Covid travel restrictions.

Here’s everything you need to know before you go.

Do I need proof of vaccination or a test to visit Turkey?

No. As of 1 June, all Covid-19 restrictions in Turkey have been lifted, and passengers arriving in Turkey are no longer required to present proof of vaccination or negative PCR test results.

Do I need to fill in a passenger locator form for Turkey?

No; a passenger locator form is no longer required for entry to Turkey.

Do I need to wear a mask while on holiday in Turkey?

No; face masks are no longer required outdoors or indoors if air circulation and social distancing are adequate.

How long do I need left on my passport to visit Turkey?

If you are visiting Turkey, your passport needs to be valid for at least six months from the date you arrive and there should be a full blank page for entry and exit stamps.

Brits travelling to Turkey for tourism or business purposes can stay for up to 90 days in any 180-day period without a visa.

If you plan to remain in Turkey for longer, you need to apply for a longer stay visa before travel, or get a residence permit from the local authorities in Turkey before your 90-day stay has elapsed.

Turkey entry requirements: Travel restrictions, Covid rules and testing for holidays from the UK explained

Holidays to turkey are now test-free from start to finish for fully vaccinated travellers - here are the rules when you get there.

With testing scrapped for fully vaccinated arrivals to the UK , test-free overseas holidays are now back on the cards. Whether tourists can avoid the hassle and cost of testing altogether will now depend on restrictions in place at their destination.

Turkey has scrapped paid-for testing entirely for the fully vaccinated, meaning that holidays to the popular destination are test-free from start to finish. However, some arrivals may face random PCR testing upon arrival.

The country is also one of just 22 nations in Europe that will let in unvaccinated travellers quarantine-free.

Here is everything you need to know about Turkey’s entry requirements and what the rules are for public places once you are there.

What entry rules apply to all travellers?

All travellers must complete an online form a maximum of 72 hours before travelling. Arrivals will also be subject to a medical evaluation for Covid-19 symptoms, including temperature checks, and may be subject to random PCR testing on arrival.

What are the entry rules for vaccinated travellers?

Vaccinated travellers can enter with proof of two doses. Booster jabs are not required. Second vaccine doses must have been administered at least 14 days before the traveller’s arrival.

More from Travel

What are the entry rules for unvaccinated travellers?

If you are not fully vaccinated, you must provide a negative PCR test (taken no more than 72 hours before entry), rapid antigen test (taken no more than 48 hours before entry), or proof of a recent recovery within the last six months.

What are the rules for children?

Children aged 12 and up must follow the same rules as adults. Children aged 11 and under must follow the rules for fully vaccinated travellers. Children aged five and under are exempt from online forms.

What are the rules for visiting public places?

Mask-wearing is mandatory at all times outside of the home. This includes all public places including streets, parks and on the beach. However, the rule does not extend to hotels and resorts.

Anything else?

If you are visiting Turkey, you must have at least six months from the date you arrive left on your passport. You will also need a full blank page for entry and exit stamps.

Can I go to Turkey? Travel restrictions from the UK explained

Here’s what you need to know about the UK's travel rules for when you return from the country, plus Turkey’s own entry requirements for people looking to visit.

Is Turkey on the red list?

Turkey is one of eight countries that was removed from the red list on Monday 4 October 2021. 

However, from Friday 18 March 2022, there are no Covid travel rules in the UK, which means that those returning to the country do not need to test, quarantine or fill in a passenger locator form , regardless of their vaccination status. The government will also no longer manage any quarantine hotels from the end of March. 

What are the entry requirements for Turkey?

As of 1 June 2022, all Covid entry requirements to Turkey have been dropped. This means that you can now enter Turkey regardless of your vaccination status and without needing to show proof of a negative Covid test. 

Previously, all travellers aged six and over needed to complete an online form a maximum of 72 hours before travelling.

Fully vaccinated travellers could enter without needing to test or quarantine, but had to show proof of their vaccination status, while unvaccinated travellers had to show proof of a negative PCR test taken no more than 72 hours before entry, rapid antigen test taken no more than 48 hours before entry, or proof of a recent recovery from Covid-19 within the last six months. 

Coronavirus entry requirements could still change at short notice, so travellers are advised to check the specifics with their airline before travelling. For the latest advice, please check the UK government's advice on Turkey's entry requirements .

Passports should be valid for at least six months from the date of arrival, with a full blank page for both entry and exit stamps. Brits travelling to Turkey for tourist or business reasons are able to visit without a visa for stays up to 90 days in a 180-day period.

Before travelling, people staying for more than 90 days should apply for a longer stay visa, or alternatively get a residence permit from authorities in Turkey ahead of the 90-day period concluding. All the relevant entry requirements can be read here .
