Traveling to Turkey for short-term business? If your nationality appears on the list of eligible countries for a Turkey e-Visa, you can get a Turkey business e-Visa - an online travel permit that skips the traditional embassy process. Found your nationality on that list? Good, here's everything you need to know about traveling to Turkey for business.
Applicants generally fall into one of two categories:
Nationalities that don't need additional supporting documents. If you fall here, a scan of your passport's bio page is all you need to apply.
Nationalities that do need additional supporting documents. Submit a passport bio page scan alongside a valid visa or residence permit issued by a Schengen country, Ireland, the U.S.A., or the United Kingdom.
Worth doing before you start your application: read through the full requirements for a Turkey e-Visa so you know exactly what's expected of your specific case.
For urgent business trips, eligible applicants can select the super rush processing option, which gets you:
You'll need to choose this option at the time of applying, and it comes with an extra charge on top of the standard Turkey visa cost.
Business travelers can take part in activities like:
Attending business meetings or negotiations with corporate partners or clients.
Taking part in industry events, trade fairs, and commercial exhibitions.
Joining short-term corporate training sessions, as long as they're non-employment-based.
Attending professional networking events hosted by companies and industry groups.
This depends on your nationality - some travelers get 30 days on a single-entry basis, while others qualify for 90 days on multiple entries, all within an overall 180-day validity period.
Complete your corporate travel authorization in four simple steps:
Fill out the Turkey e-Visa application form with your details, choose a processing option, and upload your documents.
Submit whatever's requested on the form. If anything else is needed, you'll be contacted directly.
Submit your application and pay using a credit or debit card, or another accepted payment method.
Your approved Turkey business eVisa gets sent directly to the email address you registered with.
For a smoother business relationship while you're there, keep a few key practices in mind:
Once processing begins, you'll get regular status updates directly by email.
