Tourist & Business Visas
- A visa is a form issued by a visa officer. A visa is placed in your passport to show that you have met the requirements for admission to Turkey. A visa may be for a single entry, for multiple entries, or for transit purposes. The tourist visa is good for a year and allows U.S. citizens to stay in Turkey for 3 months in each stay (with multiple entries).
- U.S. citizens may obtain tourist visas upon entry at Istanbul Ataturk International Airport in Turkey or from the Turkish consulates in the U.S. However, application for business visas must be handled ahead of time, before entering Turkey. Some Non-U.S. citizens need to apply for their tourist or business visas in advance before going to Turkey.
- If you need to obtain your visa ahead of time, you may directly contact a Turkish Consulate in person, or by mail.
- Contact customer service department for a consultation on getting a Turkish visa prior to your departure.
