• Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from the date of your intended entry into Türkiye.
• Travelers entering for reasons other than tourism or business (e.g., study, work, long-term stay) must obtain the appropriate visa through Turkish consulates or embassies.
• Always verify port-specific requirements, especially during global events like health emergencies or regional restrictions.

It is the traveler's responsibility to ensure they have all supporting documents, including their eVisa confirmation, a valid passport, and if necessary, a return or onward ticket, hotel bookings, or financial proof depending on nationality and entry type.
