Egypt to Türkiye visa requirements
Egyptian ordinary passport holders need a visa for Türkiye. An online e-Visa is available, but with conditions: applicants aged roughly 15-45 qualify only if they hold a valid Schengen, USA, UK, or Ireland visa/residence permit AND fly with an approved airline. Younger/older applicants and those who cannot meet the conditions apply for a sticker visa at a Turkish consulate. A short tourist trip to Türkiye requires a visa for Egyptian ordinary passport holders; there is no visa-free or unconditional visa-on-arrival route. The fastest path is the official e-Visa at evisa.gov.tr, but eligibility is conditional. Per the Turkish MFA, applicants under 15 or over 45 can obtain the e-Visa with no extra documents. Applicants in the intermediate age band (commonly cited as 15-45, with some sources citing under 20/over 45) must hold a valid Schengen, USA, UK, or Ireland visa or residence permit (an e-Visa from those countries is NOT accepted as a supporting document) and must travel on Turkish Airlines, AJet, Pegasus, Egypt Air, or Air Cairo. The e-Visa is single-entry, 30-day stay, valid 180 days from issue, and cannot be extended. Travelers who do not meet these conditions must apply for a traditional sticker visa at a Turkish consulate in Egypt with bank statements, employment proof, accommodation, flight bookings, and travel insurance. Always carry proof of a return ticket, accommodation, and roughly USD 50 per day of stay. Verify your exact eligibility and fee on the official portal before booking, as the e-Visa system displays nationality-specific conditions at the application stage.
