Entry rules
Visa needed before you fly for up to 30 days, about ₹4,300
- If you hold a valid US, UK, Irish or Schengen visa or residence permit, apply online for the Turkish e-Visa at evisa.gov.tr (single entry, up to 30 days, about US$44.5: US$43 plus a US$1.5 processing fee); use only the official site. Otherwise apply for a sticker tourist visa through the Turkish consulate's visa centre (VFS Global) at least 3-4 weeks before you fly.
- For the e-Visa, check on evisa.gov.tr that your airline and route qualify (it is for arrival by air) and print the e-Visa; your US, UK, Irish or Schengen visa must still be valid on the day you land.
- For the sticker visa, book a VFS appointment and bring the form, photos, 3-6 months of bank statements, ITRs, a cover letter, confirmed return flights and hotel bookings; processing takes about 15 working days.
- At Istanbul immigration, show your passport with the visa (or the printed e-Visa) and, if asked, your return ticket, hotel bookings and funds.
Carry: Passport valid at least 60 days beyond your stay (6 months is the safe rule), with a blank page; The e-Visa printout, or the sticker visa in your passport; For the e-Visa: your valid US, UK, Irish or Schengen visa or residence permit (the physical one); Confirmed return flight within the visa's 30 days; Hotel bookings for the whole stay; Proof of funds: about US$50 a day (bank statement or forex card).
Only Indians who already hold a US, UK, Irish or Schengen visa or residence permit can use the e-Visa; everyone else needs a sticker visa from the Turkish mission's visa centre, so start a month ahead. Fees and conditions were taken from consular notes and travel guides, not the live e-Visa site: confirm on evisa.gov.tr before paying.
Checked 2026-10; confirm with the embassy before you fly.
