How to Check Your Turkey eVisa Validity

Complete these four checks before traveling:

Open the approved eVisa PDF you received and make sure it is complete and readable.

Check the key information, including:

• Full name
• Passport number
• Nationality
• Validity dates
• Permitted stay

2. Verify Your Passport Details

Your eVisa information should match the passport used for your application.

• In particular, check your:
• Full name
• Passport number
• Nationality

You should travel with the same passport used when applying for your eVisa.

3. Check the Validity Dates

4. Check Your Turkey eVisa Status Online

If you applied through our service, use the Check Status function to review your application status.

Application status tells you whether your application has been processed or approved.

Visa validity tells you whether an issued eVisa can be used for your planned trip.

How Long Is a Turkey eVisa Valid?

A Turkey eVisa may be valid for up to 180 days, depending on the conditions applicable to the traveler.

However, your permitted stay may be shorter, such as 30 or 90 days, depending on your nationality and visa conditions.

Always check the dates and permitted stay shown on your own eVisa before traveling.

Turkey eVisa Validity vs. Permitted Stay

These two terms have different meanings:

• Visa validity: The period during which your eVisa may be used.
• Permitted stay: The maximum time you are allowed to stay in Turkey.

For example, an eVisa may have a broader validity period but permit a stay of only 30 or 90 days.

Check both conditions before planning your trip.

Compare your eVisa with the passport used for your application.

Check that the following details are correct:

• Full name

If your passport has been replaced, lost, or expired since you applied, check the applicable eVisa requirements before traveling.
