Turkish Visa Needed in Advance

If your passport is from one of the countries below, you should apply for a visa in advance of your trip at a Turkish consulate, preferably in your own country. You probably cannot obtain a visa upon entry to Turkey.

Allow a minimum of one month for your visa application to be processed. See these visa tips for more.

The information below was obtained from the Turkish Ministry of Foreign Affairs website (updated January 31, 2008), but I cannot guarantee the accuracy of the information! For definitive information you must contact a Turkish consulate. (Please do not contact me—I have no more information.)
