Turkey Tourist Visa

Visa, in the simplest terms, is a permit issued by the official authorities of a state to foreigners travelling to their country and processed on their passports. States have subjected foreigners who travel to their countries using their national sovereignty powers to different visa regimes according to their nationality.

Every year, a large number of tourists come to our country for a holiday. Some of these are the citizens of the country to which Turkey applies an exemption, and some are the citizens of the country to which it applies a visa regime. The visa regime imposed by Turkey differs from country to country in accordance with the principle of reciprocity.

Citizens of the country where Turkey applies are required to obtain a visa before coming to our country. Foreigners who come to Turkey for holiday, travel and tourism purposes should apply for a tourist visa in Turkey.
