Overview

Planning a trip to Turkey from Dubai? UAE citizens can enjoy visa-free entry to Turkey for up to 90 days within a 180-day period for tourism or business purposes. However, UAE residents who are not citizens typically need to apply for a visa. An efficient option is the Turkey e-Visa, which can be applied for online through the official portal. The application process involves confirming eligibility, preparing necessary documents (such as a valid passport, UAE residence permit, and financial statements), completing the online form, and paying the applicable fee. Processing times vary, so it's advisable to apply well in advance of your intended travel dates. For those seeking assistance, several travel agencies in Dubai offer services to facilitate the e-Visa application process, ensuring a smoother experience.​
