Indonesia to Türkiye visa requirements

No visa needed. Indonesian ordinary passport holders can enter Türkiye visa-free for up to 30 days per entry, with total stays capped at 90 days in any 180-day period. Türkiye's Ministry of Foreign Affairs lists Indonesian ordinary passport holders as visa-exempt for up to 30 days for each entry, provided total stays do not exceed 90 days in any 180-day period. The Turkish Embassy in Jakarta also announced the exemption for Indonesian ordinary passport holders for touristic and transit travel, and the official e-Visa eligible-country list does not include Indonesia because this route is visa-free. No e-Visa, sticker visa, fee, or pre-travel application is required for eligible short visits; entry is assessed at Turkish border control. Passport validity is still important: Turkish MFA guidance says passports must be valid at least 60 days beyond the allowed stay under a visa exemption, and advises 6 months' validity from arrival. For a 30-day visa-exempt trip, 90 days' passport validity on entry is the legal minimum, while 6 months is the safer travel buffer. Work, study, residence, journalism, filming, or stays beyond the short-visit limit require the proper visa, residence permit, or official permission.
