Turkish passport holders need a Standard Visitor visa to enter the United Kingdom. Apply online at gov.uk/standard-visitor-visa, pay the GBP 115 fee (about TRY 5,290), and book a biometric appointment at a VFS Global center in Istanbul, Ankara, or Izmir. Required documents include a completed online form, passport, proof of funds (bank statements for at least 6 months), accommodation details, a return ticket, and an employment or business letter. Passport must be valid for the duration of the stay. Processing takes about 3 weeks, with priority service (5 to 7 working days) available for an extra fee.
The Standard Visitor visa allows stays of up to 6 months for tourism, business meetings, and family visits. It is not valid for employment. Multi-entry visit visas valid for 2, 5, or 10 years are available (GBP 400, GBP 771, or GBP 963), allowing repeated visits of up to 6 months each. Turkey's large diaspora in the UK (over 500,000 people) means family visit applications are common. Turkish nationals with a valid UK visa can also use the Irish Short Stay Visa Waiver Programme to visit Ireland without a separate Irish visa.
