Check whether these rules affect your eligibility, application, or arrival.
Check your passport expiry date
Türkiye generally requires a passport or travel document to remain valid for at least 60 days beyond the permitted duration of your visa, eVisa, visa-exempt stay, or residence permit. For a 90-day stay, that means at least 150 days of validity at entry. The Ministry exempts some travelers entering with a national ID, holders of specified expired passports it treats as valid, and diplomatic, special, or official passport holders. Check the rule for your travel document.
Official guidanceCheck the stay allowed by your actual visa
A visa or eVisa validity window is not the same as the number of days you may stay. Türkiye caps the stay authorized by a visa or visa exemption at 90 days in any 180-day period, and your individual permission may allow less. Check the permitted stay stated on the visa or eVisa issued to you. For an eVisa, use the official portal to check the rules for your passport and travel dates; for a visa on arrival or a mission visa, follow the stay period granted by the issuing authority.
