Mexico to Türkiye visa requirements

Q: How long can I stay with the e-Visa?

Up to 30 days. The e-Visa is single entry and valid for 180 days, within which you must enter Türkiye.

Q: How much does the Türkiye e-Visa cost for Mexicans?

Mexico SRE states the Türkiye e-Visa is free for Mexican ordinary, official and service passport holders. Optional medical insurance may cost extra, but it is separate from the e-Visa fee.

Q: Where do I apply, and how long does it take?

Apply only at the official site evisa.gov.tr. The official e-Visa portal advises applying at least 48 hours before departure.

Q: What passport validity do I need?

Turkish MFA guidance requires a passport valid at least 60 days beyond the permitted stay; for a 30-day e-Visa, that means at least 90 days validity at entry. Mexico SRE advises at least six months validity at entry and through the end of the trip.

Q: Can I work or study on the e-Visa?

No. The e-Visa is only for tourism, business visits and transit. Work or study requires a different visa from a Turkish consulate.

Q: Can I get a longer or multiple-entry visa?

Yes. Turkish MFA says Mexican ordinary/service/official passport holders may get a 90-day multiple-entry visa from Turkish missions abroad if the e-Visa is not enough.

Mexican ordinary passport holders need a Türkiye e-Visa before travel — a free online visa for one entry and a stay of up to 30 days. Holders of a Mexican ordinary passport are not visa-exempt for Türkiye. They may obtain a 30-day single-entry electronic visa (e-Visa) online at the official portal evisa.gov.tr, or apply through a Turkish mission for a 90-day multiple-entry visa when that is needed. Mexico's SRE states the Türkiye e-Visa for Mexican ordinary, official and service passport holders is valid for 180 days, allows a maximum stay of 30 days, and is free; paid optional health insurance may be offered during the application, but that does not change the e-Visa fee. Turkish MFA guidance requires the passport to be valid at least 60 days beyond the permitted stay, and SRE advises at least six months validity at entry through the end of the trip. Turkish MFA and SRE guidance also require valid medical insurance for the stay. The e-Visa is for tourism and trade/business visits only, not work or study. Mexican diplomatic passport holders are visa-exempt for up to 90 days.
