Those from the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, Belgium, Greece, Ireland, the Netherlands, Italy, Portugal, and Spain can enter with a valid passport and purchase a visa sticker upon arrival in Turkey if they are staying for less than three months.

Visitors from Norway, Hungary, and many Eastern European and Central Asian countries can enter for one month with a valid passport and a visa sticker purchased in Turkey. You may travel in Turkey with a single-entry visa for three months. With a multiple-entry visa, you can travel for three-month blocks in a single year. If your stay is longer than three months, you may be able to get an extension or you can jet to neighboring Greece, spend the night, and then return with a new three-month stamp.

All foreign nationals must have passports, and these must be valid for at least three months after your planned departure from Turkey. For any questions concerning passports and visas, visit the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
