Turkish visa system

But, some things need to be prepared beforehand. A visa permit is one of them. Unfortunately, the Turkish visa system is quite complicated. Each group of countries has different visa requirements but also are eligible for different visa types.

Some countries can enter Turkey visa-free. Some under strict conditions can enter Turkey without a visa. Others need to have an e-Visa permit or a regular visa from the embassy.

China is one of the countries that need to apply for an electronic visa permit before crossing the Turkish border. E-Visa can be handled online; the entire process can be conducted from home, and takes a maximum of 3 business days for your e-Visa to arrive at your e-mail address.

Turkish visa types

There are two main types of electronic visas to Turkey.

1. A multiple-entry visa that allows 90 days of stay in Turkey total within the 180-day validity period.
2. A single-entry visa that allows 30 days of stay in Turkey in 180 days.

Most countries are eligible for the first type of an e-Visa, do not need to attach any additional support documents. However, there are some exceptions to this rule.

When it comes to the second visa type, each country eligible for applying for it has different requirements to meet and various support documents to attach.
