Canadian citizens heading to Turkey can enjoy an accessible eVisa system, making trips to Turkey's stunning landscapes and rich cultural sites easy and efficient. Here’s what Canadians need to know about applying for and using a Turkish eVisa.
Benefits
Natvisa offers a straightforward and secure application process with 24/7 customer support, robust data protection, and expert review to ensure compliance with government standards.
Canadian visitors often explore Istanbul’s iconic landmarks, Cappadocia’s fairy chimneys, and the beaches along the Turkish Riviera. For many Canadians, autumn and spring offer the best conditions for exploring, while summer attracts those looking for coastal experiences.
Most Canadian travelers use the eVisa, which allows stays of up to 90 days for short-term visits. Canadians traveling for employment or extended stays should instead consider a traditional visa from a Turkish consulate. If an eVisa is not secured before travel, a visa on arrival is possible, though it requires additional processing at entry points.
Canadian applicants must have their passport ready, a valid credit card, and a working email address for updates. The application can be completed on Natvisa or the Turkish government site in a few minutes. Mistakes in the form require reapplication, so double-check all information before submission.
Entry with an eVisa is not guaranteed; Canadian travelers should bring documentation proving adequate funds, hotel bookings, and return flight arrangements. Travelers should also be prepared for further checks at the border, especially during busy holiday seasons.
Flights from Canada to Turkey often include layovers in European cities like London, Paris, or Frankfurt. Middle Eastern hubs, such as Dubai or Doha, are also popular transit points, offering Canadians flexibility in both travel time and airline options with Air Canada and partner airlines.
