Good news for Indian travellers: a trip to Turkey starts with a simple online visa. There's no need to post documents or queue at an embassy — citizens of India can apply for the Turkey eVisa from home and get the approval delivered straight to their inbox.
The online application takes only a few minutes. Here is the step-by-step process for Indian travellers:
Depending on the visa type you choose, Indian passport holders can stay up to 30 days. Keep your passport valid for the duration of your visit and for six months beyond it.
Most Indian applications are processed within a few business days. To be safe, apply at least a couple of weeks before departure so you are not rushed close to your travel date.
Once your visa is approved, save a copy on your phone and keep a printed version with your travel documents. Indian travellers should also carry their return ticket and accommodation details for immigration on arrival.
Citizens of India can apply for the following Turkey Visa options online. Choose the Turkey eVisa that matches your trip — the fee for each type is shown on the Turkey Visa Online page:
