Most visitors may enter Turkey without a visa, or by easily buying a "sticker visa" at the airport or border-crossing point. (Basically, the sticker visa fee is a tourist tax.)

Be sure your passport is valid for at least six months from the date you enter Turkey or you may not be admitted.

If your passport is from one of the countries below, you probably don't have to obtain a visa in advance of your trip. (Who does?)

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.)

(S) means you may buy a sticker visa, valid for the number of months shown, upon entry to Turkey. Have the exact amount of euros or US dollars (or, for UK passport holders, GB pounds)—in cash!—to pay for your visa. No travelers checks, no credit cards, no other currencies, no exceptions!

No (S) means you may enter Turkey for the number of days shown with just a valid passport; you do not need a visa.

*“British Protected Persons (BPP)” passport holders, and "British National Overseas“ (BNO) passport holders (with the exception of Hong Kong), are NOT issued visas at Turkish borders. They must apply to a Turkish consulate for a visa in advance of their trip. (Hong Kong BNO passport holders may obtain sticker visas at Turkish borders.)

Turkish "sticker visa"—you pay your fee in cash upon arrival in Turkey, they stick the stamp in your passport, and that's it. (It's basically a tourist tax.)
