Turkey E Visa For Tourism
The e visa for tourism was launched in 2013, and ever since, tourists from eligible countries have been able to access the country using this travel document. This visa is issued as a single entry and multiple entry visa, and you can set it for 30 days, 60 days, or 90 days, depending on your nationality. It is also valid 180 days after the issue, so you must use it before the time elapses. Not all eligible visitors can apply for single or multiple entry visas as some passport holders are only limited to single entry visas.
The visa has replaced the sticker previously used and is electronically linked to your passport. To get it, you must complete and submit an online application form along with valid documents. If successful, the visa will be sent to your email.
Turkey e Visa For Business
Business visitors with business interests in Turkey don’t have to apply to the embassy for a business visa as they can get one online if their nationality permits. This business visa is available in two forms; the single entry visa is for one-time visitors, while the multiple entry visa is for frequent visitors. Holders can use this visa for trips if they wish to attend meetings, conferences, or fairs, meet with suppliers, settle estates, seek out investment, and any business-related engagement.
You can avail of this visa for 60 days, 90 days, or 30 days, depending on your nationality, but the authorities will expect you to submit documents to validate the purpose of your trip. Furthermore, once the visa is sent to your email address, you must print it out and bring it to Turkey because the immigration officers at the arrival section will request it.
