- Good to know
- France Diplomatie (Entrée / séjour, updated 15 Sep 2026): French nationals are visa-exempt for a tourist stay in Türkiye of no more than 90 days in a 180-day period, whether continuous or split; they must carry a valid national ID card or a passport valid at least 150 days beyond the entry date. Türkiye's MFA page says only 'up to 90 days' for France, so the 180-day window comes from France's own foreign ministry.
Is your passport valid long enough?
