Many visitors to Turkey do not need a visa, and many who do need one may buy an e-visa online from a user-friendly official Turkish Ministry of Foreign Affairs website.
Holders of some passports must apply in advance to a Turkish consulate in their home countries to obtain their visa. It depends on which passport you have. Here are the countries/passports that can obtain a visa easily online, in advance.
If your passport is from one of the countries listed below, you should apply for a visa in advance of your trip at a Turkish consulate, preferably in your own country. You probably cannot obtain a visa online.
Allow a minimum of one month for your visa application to be processed by the Turkish consulate. See these visa tips for more.
The information below was obtained from the Turkish Ministry of Foreign Affairs website, but I cannot guarantee the accuracy of the information! For definitive information you must contact a Turkish consulate. (Please do not contact me—I have no more information. I will just tell you to contact a Turkish consulate.)
