  1. Current official routeVisa-free

    Named ordinary passports: short visitor visa exemption

    The Foreign Ministry's current country schedule expressly exempts these ordinary passports for the stated short tourist, business, transit, or general-visit period.

    • The Ministry gives country-specific periods: most are 90 days in 180 days, while Belarus, Brunei, Costa Rica, Indonesia, Mongolia, Russia, Thailand, Venezuela, and Macao have expressly different limits. China is expressly effective from 2026-01-02.
    • Where the schedule says tourism, business, transit, or tourist purpose, that stated purpose limitation remains. Work, study, residence, documentary filming, research, excavation, truck-driver, crew, diplomatic, official, and special-document regimes are not flattened into this policy.
    • The Law's general maximum is 90 days in 180 days unless the applicable exemption states otherwise. A passport or travel document normally must remain valid 60 days beyond the authorised stay, and a visa exemption does not remove admissibility or entry-ban checks.

  2. Current official routeVisa on arrival

    Antigua and Barbuda, Dominican Republic, and Saint Vincent: visa obtainable at entry

    The Foreign Ministry expressly permits these ordinary passport holders to obtain a visa at Turkish ports of entry; the easier arrival-issued route controls over their parallel e-Visa option.

    • The current Ministry schedule says Antigua and Barbuda, the Dominican Republic, and Saint Vincent and the Grenadines may obtain three-month multiple-entry visas at ports of entry, as well as by e-Visa or Turkish missions.
    • This policy is a genuine border-issued visa, not an inference from an online form. Article 13 permits border visas only in exceptional cases and subjects them to applicable documents, insurance, funds, purpose, admissibility, and border-officer requirements.
    • Work, study, residence, official, service, diplomatic, crew, and special-travel-document rules are outside this ordinary short-visitor policy.

  3. Current official routeVisa required

    Named ordinary passports: advance visa required baseline

    For these ordinary passports, the current Foreign Ministry schedule expressly says a visa is required and does not itself establish a reproducible ordinary-passport e-Visa or arrival-visa route.

    • This is the current ordinary-passport baseline from the Ministry's country-by-country schedule. The Law normally directs a foreigner without a visa exemption to obtain the purpose-specific visa at a Turkish consulate in the citizenship or legal-residence country.
    • It does not erase country-specific diplomatic, official, service, special, crew, residence, work, study, transit, or other exceptional arrangements. Visas do not confer an absolute right of entry and remain subject to statutory document, insurance, funds, security, health, purpose, and entry-ban controls.
    60 passport nationalities covered

    Angola, Burkina Faso, Burundi, Benin, Botswana, Congo (Dem. Rep.), Central African Republic, Congo (Rep.), Côte d'Ivoire, Cameroon, Cuba, Djibouti, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Micronesia, Gabon, Ghana, The Gambia, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Guyana, Kenya, Kiribati, Comoro Islands, St. Kitts and Nevis, North Korea, Laos, Liberia, Lesotho, Madagascar, Marshall Islands, Mali, Myanmar, Mauritania, Malawi, Mozambique, Niger, Nigeria, Nauru, Papua New Guinea, Palau Islands, Rwanda, Sudan, Sierra Leone, Somalia, South Sudan, São Tomé and Príncipe, Syria, eSwatini, Chad, Togo, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Tonga, Tuvalu, Tanzania, Uganda, Samoa, Zambia, Zimbabwe

  4. Current official routeCitizenship

    Turkish ordinary passport: citizen admission

    A person claiming Turkish citizenship is statutorily admitted at Türkiye's border once the prescribed citizenship evidence is established.

    • Passport Law No. 5682 requires normal passport or valid substitute-document presentation at entry and specifies admission even where a claimant arrives without one once Turkish citizenship is proved.
    • This is a citizen-entry rule, not a foreign visitor visa or passport-waiver classification.

    Taiwan ordinary passports: named electronic visitor visas

    Taiwan MOFA BOCA's current outbound schedule identifies these destinations' electronic-visa routes for Taiwanese passport holders; Ecuador separately confirms pre-departure electronic issuance.

    • EC requires Taiwanese travellers to complete the online electronic-visa application before travel after Ecuador ended the previous visa-free treatment.
    • SY and TR are listed by BOCA for ordinary ROC passports with the stated visitor-purpose electronic-visa routes; each destination's current duration, purpose, documentation and border rules remain controlling.
    • This records electronic issuance, not merely online filing. It excludes work, residence, transit-only facilities, special documents, carrier checks and final-admission decisions.
