How much does a Turkey e-ATV cost, and are there any service fees?
The Turkey e-ATV fee was described as free of charge in Türkiye’s published April 2024 guidance for affected Indian and Nepalese passport holders. Confirm the current official conditions for your journey before applying. Any optional commercial assistance charge is separate and should be explained before you agree to pay.
What does the official guidance say about the e-ATV cost?
The Turkish Embassy in New Delhi’s e-ATV announcement states that affected Indian and Nepalese passengers could obtain the document without an issuance charge from 15 April 2024. Its scope is travel through Istanbul Airport to Mexico, Panama, Colombia or Venezuela.
This is a dated policy statement, rather than a newly confirmed fee quotation for every passport and itinerary. Check the applicable airport-transit instructions on Türkiye’s official eVisa portal before applying. Make sure you are checking the e-ATV route; a price displayed for a tourist eVisa does not establish the cost of an airport-transit document.
Why does Turkey Immigration Services list a charge?
Turkey Immigration Services is an independent commercial service provider. Choosing assistance can involve charges even when the official document is issued without a fee. Paying for assistance is a customer choice, rather than proof that the government requires that payment.
At the time of checking on 29 October 2026, our published visa fee page listed USD 35 for Turkey e-Transit Visa under “Government & admin fee.” This is a combined commercial label: the listing does not establish a USD 35 government issuance fee or confirm the final amount payable for your order.
Before choosing assistance, ask whether support is available for your exact itinerary and request a written breakdown. A published product listing alone does not confirm that an application can be accepted for every traveler.
What should a clear fee quotation include?
A useful quotation identifies the product, explains each charge and states the final amount before payment. Ask the provider to confirm:
- Official issuance charge: the amount, if any, required under the current rule applicable to your application.
- Administrative charges: what they cover and whether they are separate from application assistance.
- Assistance fee: the support included and any limits on that support.
- Additional options: whether each item is optional and whether you have selected it.
- Total and currency: whether the quotation is per traveler or per order and which charges are included.
Do not calculate an e-ATV total by automatically adding a general eVisa service price to an e-Transit listing. First obtain confirmation of which charges apply to the specific product and order. Similarly, a paid service package should not be treated as a promise of government approval.
How can I avoid paying for the wrong product?
Start with the document your connection actually requires. Keep your passport nationality, transit airport, onward destination and travel dates together when asking for confirmation. If your booking involves passing Turkish passport control, ask which entry requirements apply before purchasing an airport-transit service.
For practical background, read our guide to applying for a Turkey e-ATV through the official website. Do not select a different visa simply because an airport-transit option is difficult to find.
If you would like to explore our support, contact Turkey Immigration Services to confirm assistance availability and request an itemized quotation before payment. You can then decide whether the available service meets your needs.
