Türkiye to Senegal visa requirements

As of mid-2026, an ordinary Turkish passport holder generally needs a visa for Senegal and can obtain a biometric visa on arrival at Dakar's international airports for short tourist stays. Some sources still list Turks as visa-free for up to 90 days, but the more authoritative Turkish-citizen visa references list Senegal as visa-on-arrival, so plan to obtain a visa rather than relying on visa-free entry. Note: Senegal adopted a reciprocity-based mandatory e-Visa policy in July 2025, and because Turkey requires an e-Visa from Senegalese nationals, Turkey is likely to be moved into the e-Visa channel; verify the live status on visasenegal.sn before you travel. Senegal is not in the Schengen area, so no 90/180 Schengen rule or ETIAS applies. Reporting conflicts for ordinary Turkish passports: travel aggregators frequently state visa-free for up to 90 days, while the dedicated "Visa requirements for Turkish citizens" reference lists Senegal as visa on arrival (1 month), and Sherpa lists visa on arrival up to 90 days. Diplomatic passport holders are clearly exempt for 90 days, but ordinary passports are not consistently treated as exempt. Senegal operates a biometric visa system (visasenegal.sn) with an online pre-enrolment plus in-person biometric capture, and a biometric visa on arrival is available at Dakar Blaise Diagne (DSS) and Cap Skirring for travelers who cannot pre-enrol, reportedly around EUR 50 plus delivery. Critically, on 30 July 2025 Senegal's Council of Ministers adopted a mandatory, reciprocity-based e-Visa under the "Senegal 2050" plan: nationals of countries that require visas/fees from Senegalese citizens must obtain (and pay for) an e-Visa before arrival. Turkey requires an e-Visa from Senegalese nationals (no reciprocity), so Turkey is a strong candidate to fall under this e-Visa requirement, though the official launch date, fee schedule, and definitive country list were not publicly confirmed as of this verification. Because sources conflict and a clean visa-free channel cannot be confirmed, the conservative best fit is visa on arrival, with travelers strongly advised to check visasenegal.sn and the Senegalese mission in Ankara for the current channel before booking. Passport should be valid at least 6 months with blank pages; carry return ticket and proof of funds/accommodation.
