Travelling to Turkey today or tomorrow and still don’t have a visa? Submit an urgent application right away for the Turkey visa. If you submit an application and check the "urgent" option, you visa will be approved almost instantly, and you will receive it on average within 45 minutes by e-mail. Now you can go on your trip without worry.

Standard delivery time of the visa for Turkey

If a regular application is submitted, then the visa for Turkey is generally approved within 3 days and sent by e-mail. Regardless, it is advised to file for the visa several weeks before departure. This way you will never face any unwelcome surprises just as you are about to begin your trip. Didn’t have the time or possibility to do this? Then you can still get a last-minute visa through the urgent application procedure.

Please note: Do you want to stay in Turkey for less than 90 days on a holiday or business trip? If you are a national of the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, Belgium, or any other country in the European Union, as of 2020, you no longer need a visa for these purposes.

Delivery time for urgent applications

If you submit an urgent application, you will receive the Turkey visa on average within 45 minutes. The Turkish immigration service never provides guarantees for delivery times, even if it concerns urgent applications. Nonetheless, it is extremely rare when submitting an urgent application that you will need to wait longer than the average of 45 minutes. Are you already at the airport for your flight to Turkey and still don’t have a visa? Checking of the visa only takes place upon arrival in Turkey. This means you still have time to apply for a visa.

Apply for the Turkey visa at the airport or on the plane

If you are already on the plane and submit your urgent application by smartphone before takeoff, you will almost certainly have the visa by the time you land. You will, however, need an internet connection in Turkey to receive the visa; it is sent by e-mail after all. Don’t have internet in Turkey? Then there is most likely still no problem; the visa for Turkey is electronically linked to your passport. That is why the immigration service almost never asks for a printed version of your visa.

Applications that are submitted through the urgent application procedure are denied more often. This is because more mistakes are made by travellers hastily filling in the application form. Take your time to correctly and completely fill in the visa form. For example, if you misspell your name, date of birth, or passport number, the validity of the visa expires immediately. You will have to apply for a new visa (and pay again) to be allowed into the country.
