HOW DOES THE TURKEY EVISA WORK?
In April 2013, the Turkish government launched an online visa system that issues electronic visas instead of the old “sticker visa”. Once the information and payment are submitted, the visa is emailed to the traveler and must be downloaded and printed out. The eVisa should be shown to airport and customs officials in Turkey and kept safe for the duration of the trip. Using an eVisa means travelers no longer need to go to their local embassies or wait in line at the airport to obtain a visa.
