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.

Direct flights from London to Istanbul (IST) run about 3 hours 45 minutes. Turkish Airlines, British Airways, easyJet, and Pegasus operate the route. Flights to Dalaman, Antalya, and Bodrum are seasonal from multiple UK airports. The Turkish lira (TRY) trades at roughly 38 TRY per $1. No vaccination requirements for UK arrivals. Istanbul has two airports: IST (main international hub, European side) and SAW (Sabiha Gokcen, Asian side, budget carriers). They are 80 to 100 km apart.
