FAQ for Indian applicants
Which Indian passport holders qualify for the Türkiye e-Visa?+
Those holding a valid Schengen, US, UK or Ireland visa or residence permit, valid on the Türkiye entry date. The supporting document must be a sticker visa or residence card, not an e-Visa.
Does a UAE residence visa qualify me for the Türkiye e-Visa?+
For several nationalities including Indian passport holders, a UAE residence permit valid 6+ months beyond travel satisfies the supporting-document condition. We verify your specific permit before filing.
Do I need a Türkiye visa for an Istanbul layover?+
Not if you stay airside and never clear passport control. The moment you leave for a hotel or a city tour, the e-Visa is required.
Can the Türkiye e-Visa be extended?+
No. For a stay beyond the granted 30 days you must apply for a short-term residence permit from inside Türkiye, which is a separate process with its own requirements.
What if I have no Schengen, US or UK visa?+
Then the e-Visa route is closed and the application must go to a Türkiye consulate for a sticker visa. Budget 2–4 weeks and an in-person appointment.
Do Indian citizens need a visa for Türkiye?+
Yes. Indian passport holders need a E-Visa to enter Türkiye. It can be applied for entirely online through Vizaezy and is typically issued in 12 hours.

Median processing time is 12 hours from the moment your documents are submitted. Vizaezy tracks your application against the government portal in real time.

How long can Indian citizens stay in Türkiye?+
The E-Visa permits a stay of up to 30 days and is valid for 180 days from issue.

The Türkiye e-Visa is open to Indian passport holders only on a conditional basis: you must also hold a valid Schengen, US, UK or Ireland visa or residence permit. Without one, a consulate sticker visa is the only route.
