- How long you can stay
- Your visa sets how long you can stay.
- What you need
- Passport valid for at least 60 days beyond the intended stay
- For the conditional e-Visa route only: a valid Schengen member-state, USA, UK, or Ireland visa or residence permit
- Online e-Visa application at evisa.gov.tr with online payment (if eligible)
- Otherwise: regular visa application through a Turkish consulate
- Good to know
- Turkey's Ministry of Foreign Affairs states Indian ordinary/special/service passport holders require a visa to enter Turkey. An e-Visa (single-entry, 30-day stay, applied for online at evisa.gov.tr) is available, but ONLY to Indian nationals who additionally hold a valid Schengen, USA, UK, or Ireland visa or residence permit. Indian citizens without one of those visas must apply for a regular visa at a Turkish consulate, which has no fixed self-service stay length to quote.
