Singapore to Türkiye visa requirements

Visa-free. Singapore ordinary passport holders can enter Türkiye without a visa for short visits of up to 90 days within any 180-day period. Singapore is on Türkiye's visa-exemption list. Holders of an ordinary Singapore passport may enter Türkiye visa-free and stay up to 90 days within any rolling 180-day window for short visits such as tourism, social visits, meetings or transit — no eVisa or visa-on-arrival is required. The Turkish MFA lists Singapore ordinary and official passport holders as visa-exempt up to 90 days, while Türkiye's general visa rules and Singapore's Ministry of Foreign Affairs confirm the 90-days-in-180-days cap. Work, study, residence, journalism, research and other regulated activities require the appropriate Turkish authorization before travel. Your passport must be valid at least 60 days beyond the visa-exemption duration; for a 90-day exemption, Türkiye's MFA explains this as at least 150 days' validity from entry, and 6 months is the safer practical standard. Türkiye is NOT in the Schengen area, so the 90/180 count is specific to Türkiye and separate from any Schengen allowance, and ETIAS does not apply. To stay longer than 90 days, apply for a residence permit or the correct long-stay authorization before the visa-free period expires.
