• The Electronic Visa (e-Visa) Application System was launched on 17 April 2013 by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Türkiye. This system allows visitors travelling to Türkiye to easily obtain their e-Visas online (www.evisa.gov.tr), in approximately three minutes.

It is possible to obtain e-Visa 7/24 at everywhere with internet connection. The applicants can obtain their visa after they fill in the necessary information concerning their identity, passport and travel dates and pay visa fee online.

• Please note that e-visa is only valid when the purpose of travel is tourism or commerce. For other purposes, such as work and study, visas are given by Turkish Embassies or Consulates.
• The term "official passports" covers diplomatic, service, special and official passports.

You are kindly advised to have a travel document/passport valid for at least 6 months as from the date of your arrival in Türkiye.

Turkey E-Visa From Saudi Arabia 

The most convenient way to apply for a Turkish visa is through the e-visa system . However, checking your eligibility is crucial as this service is valid for a select number of passports.

You'll need several documents to apply for a Turkey visa from Saudi Arabia. These may include a valid passport, accommodation and flight bookings, health insurance, proof of financial security, residency, and other documents such as proof of accommodation.

Best Time To Visit Turkey

The most pleasant times to travel from Saudi Arabia to Turkey are between April to May and September to October. During these periods, the weather is ideal for sightseeing and exploring. Moreover, these are off-peak tourist seasons, meaning fewer crowds and potentially lower costs.

The peak tourist season runs from June to August. You might even bump into a fellow Saudi traveler if you visit Turkey during Eid! Turkey's low season falls between November and March. Despite the cold, it's an excellent opportunity for budget travel and exploring ski resorts!

Here's an overview of Turkey's climate throughout the year.

Spring (April To May)

During these months, Turkey is alive with the vibrant hues of blooming flowers and pleasant weather. The majority of the country, including Istanbul, is stunning in spring, but a word of caution: some resorts on the Turquoise Coast may still be closed following the winter season. The International Istanbul Film Festival takes place in April, followed by the Hidrellez Festival in May, an event that celebrates the arrival of spring with traditional music.

Summer (June To August)

This period sees the highest temperatures and tourist influx. Visitors from all around the world come to Turkey to spend their summer holidays. The heat is intense inland, but the coastal regions offer a more comfortable climate. Enjoy true summer vibes at the beach, and make sure to attend the Aspendos International Opera and Ballet Festival.

Fall (September To October)

Expect shorter, cooler days! This is the perfect season to explore Turkey's rich cultural heritage along the Silk Route or trek the Lycian Way. But remember that the Kurban Bayrami holiday in early September brings an influx of local tourists.

Winter (November To March)

Winter is generally considered the off-peak season due to the chilly weather, except in the southeastern areas near Antalya. Although you might not be able to get a tan, it's an excellent time for skiing, especially in places like Erzurum or Kartepe. Moreover, the cities, particularly Istanbul, are quieter and more relaxed. If you plan a December visit, don't miss the Mevlana and Whirling Dervish Festival in Konya.

Shopping in Istanbul, Turkey

As a haven for shoppers, Istanbul brims with exciting marketplaces and stores. A fascinating tidbit is that several renowned Saudi outlets have their roots in Turkey. As such, the items you see here in Riyadh or Jeddah are often significantly cheaper in Istanbul. In fact, many Saudis have a tradition of flying to Turkey with the primary aim of shopping, scoring the same goods at just a fraction of the cost.

One common practice is for brides-to-be to acquire their wedding dresses from Turkey. They still receive excellent quality, yet at a much more affordable price.

Grand Bazaar 

If you're drafting a shopping list for Turkey, the Grand Bazaar is a must-visit. Being one of the oldest and largest covered markets globally, it offers over 4,000 shops across 61 streets.

Spice Bazaar 

For a more unique shopping journey, the Spice Bazaar is your next stop. This vibrant marketplace will tantalize your senses with an assortment of colorful spices, dried fruits, nuts, and authentic Turkish delights.

Designer Shopping

If you're keen on exploring international and local designer boutiques, Istiklal Avenue and Nisantasi are your ideal destinations.

For a touch of luxury, consider a visit to Istinye Park and Kanyon – two of Istanbul's premier shopping centers, boasting global brands, cinemas, dining establishments, and more.

Turkey Travel Tips for Saudi Residents and Citizens

Before jetting off from Saudi to Turkey, here are a few tips to ensure a seamless journey.

The local currency in Turkey is the Turkish lira (TRY). While credit cards are widely accepted in Turkey, carrying some cash for convenience stores, and bazaars is advisable. Turkey has numerous ATMs and currency exchange outlets available.

Plugs and Adaptors

Turkey uses two primary types of plug systems: Type C and Type F. Type C has two round pins, and Type F has two round pins along with two earth clips on the side. The country operates on a standard voltage of 230V and a frequency of 50Hz. Since Saudi Arabia uses Type G plugs, you may need to bring a suitable adapter for your electronic devices.

Getting Around

Navigating through Turkey is fairly straightforward. Public transportation like local taxis and buses are readily accessible and generally reliable.

For those with a more adventurous spirit, car rental services are available across Turkey, allowing you to explore more remote and off-the-beaten-path locations at your own pace.

Turkey Visa from Saudi Arabia

Saudi Arabia nationals need a visa to enter Turkey. If their traveling purposes are business or tourism-related, they can apply for a Turkey e-Visa online .

The Turkey e-Visa for Saudi Arabian citizens can be obtained by simply filling out the short online application form using an Internet-accessed electronic device. The approved Turkish e-Visa is next delivered to the applicant via email .

Thanks to the introduction of the Turkey e-Visa system , Saudi Arabian citizens no longer need to trouble themselves with visiting the nearest Turkish embassy and booking appointments long weeks before the date of planned travel. Instead, after meeting certain basic visa requirements, they can obtain a Turkey visa online a few business days prior to their journey.

What is a Turkey e-Visa for Saudi Arabian Citizens and how it works

The Turkey electronic visa for Saudi Arabian citizens functions as an official online visa that eliminates the need to visit a Turkish embassy or consulate.

Citizens of the KSA, as one of the eligible countries, can benefit from the electronic Turkey visa if they plan to travel to Turkey for tourism, business, leisure, or transit .

With a Turkey e-Visa, you can:

• participate in various business conferences, meetings, etc.;
• negotiate your future cooperation with a Turkish company;
• spend your holiday time in Turkey;
• explore tourist attractions of the country;
• reunite with your family or friends residing in Turkey;
• perform other leisure-related activities.

The online visa for Turkey from Saudi Arabia is a one-entry visa enabling a 30-day stay in Turkey. The visa stays effective for 6 months from the date of its approval.

Saudi applicants should apply for the Turkey tourist visa at least 3 business days before their intended arrival date in the country to receive the visa approved on time.

Online application for a Turkey visa from Saudi Arabia

Turkey visa from Saudi Arabia can be easily obtained from whatever place, provided that one has access to a working electronic device and a stable Internet connection.

First of all, make sure you have all the required documents ready and go to the Turkey e-Visa application consisting of the following steps:

• Fill out the online form : Provide all required details, including your personal and passport data, travel-related details, and contact information.
• Upload supporting documents : Upload previously gathered documents and make sure that digital copies are legible and correct.
• Cover the Turkish visa fee : Use one of the available methods of online payment and pay the processing fee.

Double-check all the details entered since any incorrect information may result in your visa being rejected. Also, if the visa is approved and some of your details contain mistakes, it is impossible to correct it, and you will need to apply for a new e-Visa and cover the new service fee.

The approved Turkey visa will also be digitally matched to your Saudi passport. Make sure to travel to Turkey with the very same passport provided when applying for a Turkish visa. If your passport linked to the Turkey visa is lost, damaged, stolen, etc., the visa automatically becomes invalid too.

Do remember to print your visa out as soon as it is delivered to your email inbox. The printed copy will be verified upon your arrival in Turkey.

Documents necessary for the Turkey visa for Saudi Arabians

Saudi nationals applying for a Turkish visa online must meet certain requirements, which include the following basic criteria:

• Holding a passport with a 6-month validity from the date of planned arrival in Turkey
• Having access to an active email address to receive the approved e-Visa
• Having a valid means of online payment to cover the processing fee

In particular cases, the Turkish authorities may be required to provide additional documents.

Please do remember to upload clear and legible digital copies of the required documents. Failure to do so will require resending new copies and may extend the visa processing time.

Turkey visa cost and processing time from Saudi Arabia

The Turkey visa cost from Saudi Arabia is 129 Euro . Saudi Arabian citizens can cover the processing fee using one of the preferred secure methods of online payment, such as credit/debit card, PayPal , etc.

Shortly after covering the fee, an applicant receives the confirmation email with an individual application ID . The ID is necessary to verify the status of the Turkey online visa application. Make sure to check your email inbox after submitting your visa application.

The processing time usually takes a few business days and is solely dependent on the Turkish authorities’ decision. Sometimes, the waiting time may extend due to various reasons, for example, when Turkish officials ask for providing some supporting documents.

Currently, Saudi citizens no longer require a visa to enter Turkey.

To enter the Republic of Turkey, Saudi nationals must have a Turkish visa. When visiting for holidays or for business, travelers must use the online platform to obtain a Turkey e-Visa for citizens of Saudi Arabia .

The Turkey e-Visa is quick and easy to obtain. Saudi travelers must simply fill in a short application form using a computer or device with an internet connection. The approved Turkish e-Visa is then delivered by email.

This system means that any Saudi Arabian citizen planning to visit Turkey does not need to go to the trouble of filing the paperwork in person at a diplomatic mission, as was the case before the e-Visa was introduced.

Applicants must meet a few basic Turkey visa requirements for Saudi Arabian citizens to get their e-Visa.

What Is a Turkey e-Visa for Saudi Arabian Citizens and What Does It Do?

The Turkey e-Visa for Saudi Arabian citizens is an online visa that permits holders to travel to Turkey without having to apply for a visa at an embassy or consulate.

The Turkey e-Visa was introduced in 2013 to improve the speed and convenience of the visa application process for visitors to Turkey, which is now also known as Türkiye.

Citizens of eligible countries, such as Saudi Arabia, must use the e-Visa online application system to apply for an electronic visa for trips to Turkey for the following reasons:

• Transit on the way to a third country

The Turkey online e-Visa can be used for a single entry or multiple entries. It allows Saudi nationals to stay for  up to 90 days per visit within the 180-day validity period. If this is exceeded, the obtainer should leave and wait for the end of the 180 days after the first entrance in Turkey .

Saudi travelers to Turkey can apply for the e-Visa any time before their intended trip begins. However, it is highly recommended to submit an e-Visa application at least 48 hours before departure .

Is a Turkey e-Visa Obligatory for Saudi Passport Holders?

Yes, for straightforward tourism and business purposes , Saudi travelers should apply online for a Turkish e-Visa.

Available via an online application system, the Turkey e-Visa for Saudis is a quick and simple way to obtain authorization to enter the country, saving a lot of time and effort compared to applying at a Turkish embassy or consulate, as with a traditional visa.

Passport control officials at the Turkish border can check a traveler’s e-Visa while scanning their passport in the online system. Even so, it is a good idea to carry a printed copy of the e-Visa with you in the unlikely event of problems with the system.

Do Saudi Arabian Citizens Need a Visa or a Turkey e-Visa To Live In Turkey?

Citizens of Saudi Arabia who wish to travel to Turkey for reasons other than short-term tourism or business, such as to work or study, must contact a Turkish embassy or consulate .

S audi Arabian nationals require a residence permit in order to live in Turkey and different types of visa for purposes like accepting employment or studying there.

Additionally, any Saudi Arabian visitor who intends to stay in Turkey for a period exceeding 90 days for business or tourism has to apply for a type of long-stay visa for Türkiye rather than the e-Visa.

Turkey e-Visa Application for Saudi Arabian Nationals

Saudi Arabian nationals can swiftly and easily obtain an e-Visa for Turkey through the online e-Visa application system .

Travelers must complete information such as personal details and passport information , as well as details of their planned visit to Turkey.

If an applicant’s travel dates change after applying, they must obtain a new e-Visa—travel dates cannot be amended via the online system.

The Turkey e-Visa is electronically linked to the applicant’s Saudi passport . Therefore, this same passport must be used to enter Turkey. Applicants should ensure all information inputted during the e-Visa application process corresponds to the information on their passport.

If the passport used in the application is lost, stolen, damaged, or otherwise rendered invalid, it will be necessary to apply for a new e-Visa for Türkiye with the new Saudi Arabian passport.

Documents Required for the Turkey e-Visa for Saudi Arabians

Saudi nationals must meet certain visa requirements when traveling abroad, and Turkey is no exception.

To apply for a Turkey online visa, Saudi Arabian citizens must provide the following items :

• Passport valid for a minimum of 60 days after the expiration of the visa, visa exemption, or residence permit
• Current email address  to which the approved e-Visa will be sent
• Details of a credit or debit card to pay the fee

Saudi Arabian applicants may also be asked to provide additional documentation in support of their application.

Travelers can enter Türkiye multiple times within 180 days from the date of issue of the e-Visa.
