Planning a trip from the UAE to Istanbul, Cappadocia or the turquoise coast of Antalya? Turkey is one of the most popular and accessible destinations for Dubai residents, and applying for a Turkey visa from Dubai is straightforward when you know which route applies to you.

Turkey e-Visa vs Sticker Visa

Many nationalities and UAE residents are eligible for the Turkey e-Visa, an electronic authorisation completed entirely online with no need to submit your passport. Travellers who are not eligible for the e-Visa apply for a sticker visa through the Turkish Consulate, which may require an in-person appointment.

Documents Required for a Turkey Visa

For most applications you will need a passport valid for at least six months, a copy of your UAE residence visa, a recent passport-size photograph, confirmed return flight tickets and hotel bookings, and proof of sufficient funds. Requirements can vary by nationality, so it is worth confirming before you apply.

Turkey Visa Processing Time and Fees

The Turkey e-Visa is usually issued within a few days, while consular sticker visas take longer depending on appointment availability. Fees depend on your nationality and visa type.
