Do Philippines passport holders need a visa to visit Türkiye?

Philippine ordinary passport holders need a visa for Türkiye. An e-Visa is available, but ONLY if you hold a valid Schengen, USA, UK or Ireland visa or residence permit. Without one, you must obtain a sticker visa from the Turkish Embassy/Consulate. Türkiye is not visa-free for Philippine ordinary passport holders. There is a conditional e-Visa: Filipinos may apply online at www.evisa.gov.tr only if they already hold a valid visa or residence permit from a Schengen country, the United States, the United Kingdom or Ireland (e-visas/e-permits are NOT accepted as supporting documents). The e-Visa is single-entry, allows a stay of up to 30 days, and costs about USD 26 plus a small service fee. Travelers who do not hold a qualifying supporting document cannot use the e-Visa and must apply for a regular sticker visa at the Turkish Embassy/Consulate (in the Philippines this is handled via the official outsourced channel, AgentTR). Diplomatic and service/official passport holders are visa-exempt for up to 30 days, but this guide covers ordinary passports. Passport must be valid at least 6 months from arrival (60 days beyond stay for e-Visa) with blank pages.
