Philippines to Türkiye visa requirements

Philippine ordinary passport holders need a visa for Türkiye. A 30-day single-entry e-Visa is available only if you hold a valid Schengen, USA, UK or Ireland visa or residence permit. Without one, you must apply for a sticker visa through the Turkish visa pre-application/application-center route. Türkiye is not visa-free for Philippine ordinary passport holders. The Türkiye Ministry of Foreign Affairs says ordinary Philippine passport holders are required to have a visa, but may obtain a 30-day single-entry e-Visa via www.evisa.gov.tr if they hold a valid visa or residence permit from a Schengen country, the United States, the United Kingdom or Ireland. The supporting visa/residence permit must still be valid on the date of entry to Türkiye; e-Visas from other countries are not accepted as supporting documents. Travelers without a qualifying supporting document cannot use the e-Visa route and must apply for a sticker visa through the Turkish visa pre-application system; in the Philippines, the Turkish Embassy in Manila says visa applications are processed by the Türkiye Visa Application Center (AgentTR). Diplomatic and official/service Philippine passport holders are visa-exempt for up to 30 days, but this guide covers ordinary passports. For passport validity, Türkiye requires a travel document valid at least 60 days beyond the authorized duration of stay (for a 30-day e-Visa, at least 90 days at entry), and the MFA advises having at least 6 months' validity from arrival.
