Turkey moves to online tourist visas

Travellers to Turkey will have to apply for an e-visa online prior to departure from mid-April, says the Association of British Travel Agents. The new system replaces the current procedure which allows visitors to buy visas – £10 in cash – at airports on arrival in Turkey.

Said ABTA in a statement: “We are concerned that consumers, particularly those who have not booked through ABTA members, might not be aware of the new requirement and might as a consequence be refused entry to Turkey.”

All visitors to Turkey from April 11th 2014 will be required to purchase their entry visa – which is essentially tourist tax – via the Turkish government’s website.
