Entry requirements overview
Do you need a visa for Türkiye?
It depends on the passport you hold, not only where you live. Many travellers need no visa at all; others need an eVisa or a consular visa.
Holders of Schengen, US, UK or Irish visas
Certain nationalities can obtain an e-Visa if they hold a valid Schengen, US, UK or Irish visa or residence permit, plus a return ticket, hotel booking and sufficient funds. A GCC residence permit is not a listed supporting document.
Everyone else
Travellers who are not exempt and do not qualify for an e-Visa apply for a sticker visa through the Turkish mission or its authorised centre for their GCC country.
GCC citizens
Keep your stay within the exemption allowance, and travel on an ordinary passport valid for at least the period the MFA requires.
Expatriates resident in the GCC
Eligibility depends on nationality. Run the official e-Visa check first; if you are not eligible, prepare a sticker-visa file for the mission in your country of residence.
Türkiye's MFA nationality table could not be fully retrieved during our latest review, so stay durations for each GCC citizenship and conditional e-Visa rules for each nationality are confirmed individually before advice is given.

Official online systems only. Gulf United Mobility never submits arrival cards or applications through unofficial agent websites.

Documents and preparation
What a well-prepared file usually contains.
Conditional e-Visas depend on the supporting visa being valid on arrival. The official conditions shown during your e-Visa application prevail.
Identity
- Passport valid for the required period
- Valid Schengen, US, UK or Irish visa or residence permit (conditional e-Visa)
- GCC residence permit (sticker visa)
Trip evidence
- Return ticket
- Hotel reservation
- Invitation letter for business visits
Funds
- Bank statements
- Employment or salary letter
Final document requirements depend on the applicant's circumstances and the requirements of the relevant authority at the time of application.
- Use only evisa.gov.tr — look-alike websites charge additional fees.
- Check that any supporting visa is still valid on your arrival date.
- Visits to Northern Cyprus are subject to separate arrangements.
Government fees and our professional fee are separate
Government visa fees, eVisa charges, authorisation fees and any visa-centre or service-provider charges are set by the relevant authority or its appointed provider. They are paid to them, are subject to change, and are normally non-refundable whatever the outcome.
Gulf United Mobility's published professional service fee covers assessment, preparation, document review and submission guidance only. The applicable route and scope are confirmed before work begins; it is never a government fee. Where no visa is needed, we tell you — we do not sell an unnecessary application.

Frequently asked questions
Do Bahraini citizens need a visa for Türkiye?
