Visa & Entry

British passport holders need an eVisa to enter Turkey. The eVisa costs $61.40 (card only), is processed instantly, and allows multiple entries for stays of up to 90 days in any 180-day period over a 6-month validity. Apply at evisa.gov.tr. The site is the only official source; third-party sites charge markups. Passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond the date of entry.

The eVisa application takes about 3 minutes. You need a valid email address and a debit or credit card. No supporting documents, photographs, or hotel bookings are required. Print or save a digital copy of the eVisa. For work or study, a separate visa from the Turkish consulate is required. Overstaying triggers fines (up to TRY 1,000) and potential entry bans.
