You'll need an e-visa for tourism or business if you're staying for less than 90 days in a 180-day period. A passport valid for at least 6 months (180 days) from the date of entry into Turkey, with at least two unused pages for verification stamps is required. Entry and visa requirements for Turkey may change depending on the nature and duration of your trip.

From Istanbul's Grand Bazaar to Cappadocia's ancient cave dwellings and Pamukkale's thermal pools, Turkey offers diverse experiences. Research your chosen destinations and understand local customs, particularly when visiting religious sites.

From hot air balloon rides in Cappadocia to exploring ancient ruins and enjoying thermal springs, Turkey offers unique experiences for everyone. Check if your planned activities are covered under your travel insurance policy.

Turkey's weather varies by season and region. The Mediterranean coast experiences hot, dry summers and mild winters, while central Anatolia has temperature extremes. Pack accordingly for the regions and season you will be travelling in, as well as for the types of activities you will be participating in on your trip to Turkey.

Organise your travel documents before you depart for your trip.
