Visa & Entry

Saudi passport holders can enter Turkey with an e-visa, obtained online at evisa.gov.tr. The e-visa costs $50 (about SAR 188) for a single or multiple entry visa valid for up to 90 days within a 180-day period. Processing is instant after payment. Passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond the date of entry. Print the e-visa or save it on your phone. At Istanbul Airport (IST) or Sabiha Gokcen (SAW), show the e-visa and passport at immigration.

Turkey is one of the most popular destinations for Saudi travelers, particularly Istanbul, Trabzon, and Antalya. The 90/180 rule means you can spend a maximum of 90 days in Turkey out of any rolling 180-day window. Overstaying triggers fines and potential entry bans. For stays beyond 90 days, apply for a residence permit through e-ikamet.goc.gov.tr within the first 90 days. Turkey has a large and growing Saudi tourism infrastructure, with Arabic signage and menus common in Istanbul's Fatih and Taksim districts.

Direct flights from Riyadh to Istanbul run about 4 hours 30 minutes on Turkish Airlines, Saudia, and flynas. Jeddah to Istanbul runs about 4 hours on the same carriers. Dammam, Medina, and other Saudi cities also have direct Turkish connections. Turkey uses the Turkish lira (TRY), trading at roughly 9.6 TRY per SAR 1. ATMs are everywhere. Card payments work widely. No mandatory vaccinations. The Istanbulkart works on all Istanbul transit at TRY 17.70 per trip (about SAR 1.85). Trabzon, popular with Saudi families for its green mountains and mild summer climate, is a 2-hour flight from Istanbul.
