Turkey’s e-Visas

After Dec. 31, 2014, any traveler to Turkey requiring a visa will need to have an e-Visa. Turkey’s e-Visa program started in April 2013 and is available to visitors from 94 countries, including the US. 

The new visas are meant to be easier to obtain. If approved, travelers are able to receive their e-Visas immediately upon completing the applications. Travelers can also get e-Visas at kiosks upon arrival. The e-Visas are less expensive as well — $20 if purchased in advance, $30 if purchased on arrival.
