Visa & Immigration

While Türkiye is accessible to tourists from many countries who can stay up to 90 days on a tourist visa, it’s essential to comply with the official visa and immigration guidelines set by the Turkish government to ensure lawful entry into the country. If you’re from a country that requires a visa for entry into Türkiye, even for a short visit, be sure to follow the prescribed procedures.

Individuals who wish to stay longer in Istanbul or anywhere in Türkiye have the option to apply for residency. The Turkish government offers several types of residence permits based on the purpose of the stay, including short-term, family, student, and long-term residence permits.
