Turkey e-Visa Requirements for Chinese Citizens

Chinese travelers can apply for the online visa for Turkey if they meet certain basic requirements.

The following items are required to complete the Turkey e-Visa application for nationals of China:

• Passport with a validity of at least 60 days after the trip
• 2 blank pages available on the same passport
• Credit or debit card
• Email address

Chinese applicants must ensure the passport will be valid for at least 60 days beyond their stay in Turkey. If the passport is set to expire sooner, Chinese travelers should renew their passports as soon as possible before applying for the e-Visa.

Since all communication regarding the e-Visa will be sent by email, applicants should provide an email address they frequently use.

Additionally, applicants should check the credit or debit card they will use to pay the e-Visa processing fee is valid for international transactions.

Before initiating the process, travelers should read through the international travel requirements for Chinese nationals.

The Turkey e-Visa application form is an online questionnaire with simple and straightforward questions that usually takes only a few minutes to complete.

Chinese applicants will have to submit the following information:

• Personal details (name, date of birth, nationality)
• Passport information (number, dates of issue and expiry)
• Travel itinerary (dates of travel, tickets, confirmation of booked accommodation)

Chinese nationals must make sure they travel to Turkey with the same passport as they used to apply for the e-Visa. This is important for Chinese citizens with dual citizenship or those who have needed to replace their passport before traveling.

It is essential to double-check the answers they provide since the application form cannot be amended once submitted.

Chinese applicants will receive their approved Turkey e-Visa by email.

The Turkey e-Visa is usually granted within 24 hours. Nevertheless, it is recommended to apply at least 3 business days before the intended date of arrival to account for busy touristic periods.

Chinese visitors are advised to print out a copy of their granted e-Visa and display it at passport controls when they arrive in Turkey.

Once in Turkey, they are advised to safe-keep their e-Visa in their possession at all times.

Chinese citizens should note the visa on arrival is not available for their nationality. Before their arrival, they must have an e-Visa or an alternative travel document.
