Details that can change your plans
Check your passport expiry date
Türkiye generally requires a passport to remain valid for at least 60 days beyond the length of the visa, eVisa, or visa-exempt stay. For a 90-day visa-exempt visit, that means at least 150 days of validity from arrival. The Ministry lists exceptions for some national-ID and diplomatic/official-passport routes; check the rule for your travel document.
