Heads up
Wildfire Season in the Coastal Forests
Hot, windy summers bring wildfires to the pine forests round Marmaris, Bodrum, Antalya and Izmir (2021 and 2025 were bad years). Follow local news, obey road closures and never light a fire or drop a cigarette outdoors.

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.
