Turkey Tourist Visa Fees for Indians (2026, in Rupees)

All amounts are as published on the official sources, checked on 15 October 2026. For documents, centres and visa types, see our Turkey visa guide for Indians.

What does each Türkiye visa option cost in rupees?

Türkiye publishes its visa charges for India directly in rupees, so there is no exchange-rate guesswork. Every sticker visa has two parts: a visa fee, and a 'Türkiye Visa Application Fee' that already includes the VFS service charge. There is no separate service fee on top.

For a holiday, you choose between the two single-entry options. The visa fee is the same; only the application fee changes with the validity. Multiple-entry visas are listed for business travellers only, and visa officers verify eligibility for them.

The same fee table applies to the student, research, internship, Turkish language course and work visas, so a tourist pays no premium over other single-entry applicants.

When and how do you pay the Turkey visa fee?

The payment is split in two:

1. Online, at booking: INR 6890 is charged when you book your VFS appointment.
2. At the centre: the remainder is paid on the day you submit, by cash, UPI or POS. On a 3-month single entry, that is INR 11230.

Read the refund line before you pay. The checklists state that the Embassy or Consulate may refuse an application without any explanation and that there is no refund in any circumstances, so a refused file costs you the full fee. They also warn that every document is verified with the institution that issued it, and applicants found using forged or fake documents are given a restriction code by the Directorate of Migration Management.

Where do you submit and pay?

You must apply within your jurisdiction, which is set by your work and residence address. If your passport was issued outside that jurisdiction, carry local address proof.

Can you use the Türkiye e-Visa instead?

Only if you qualify. Indian ordinary-passport holders who hold a valid Schengen member state, USA, UK or Ireland visa or residence permit may get a single-entry e-Visa valid for one month at evisa.gov.tr. The supporting visa or permit must be valid on your entry date and carried in original. E-Visas are valid only for tourism or commerce.

Our record does not hold the e-Visa fee for Indians, because the official e-Visa site does not publish it in readable form. Check the amount on evisa.gov.tr before deciding. Everyone else, including first-time travellers without those visas, applies for the sticker visa through VFS and pays the rupee fees above. There is no visa on arrival for Indian ordinary-passport holders.

Which other costs and funds should you plan for?

The visa fee is not the only cash outlay. The tourist checklist also asks for:

• Travel insurance covering your whole stay in Türkiye; the premium is set by your insurer.
• Two biometric photos, 2.5 x 2.5 inch on a white background, taken within the last 6 months.
• A round trip flight reservation and a hotel reservation for your dates.
• Bank statements for the last 6 months, stamped and signed, showing a minimum balance of 2 lakh INR per person and updated within the last 15 days. This is money you show, not a fee.
• ITR for the last 3 years and Form 16 if employed, plus 3 months' salary slips and a leave letter from your employer.

Paying more does not buy speed. There is no published express option and no fixed processing time. Tourist files for the Delhi and Mumbai jurisdictions should go in at least 15 working days before departure, and for Hyderabad at least 6 working days before. You can apply a maximum of 60 days in advance.

Fee mistakes to avoid

• Booking a multiple-entry visa for a holiday. It is listed for business only.
• Applying at the wrong centre. Your work and residence address decides the jurisdiction.
• Applying too early or too late. More than 60 days ahead is not allowed; too close to departure leaves no margin.
• Expecting a refund after a refusal. None is given in any circumstances.
• Weak bank statements. Fix the balance and the 15-day update before you book and pay INR 6890.

Frequently asked questions

Is the Turkey visa fee refunded if my application is refused?

No. The checklists say there is no refund in any circumstances, and the Embassy or Consulate may refuse an application without giving any explanation.

Can Indian tourists get a multiple-entry Turkey visa?

The multiple-entry options of 6 and 12 months are listed for business only, with a INR 16200 visa fee, and visa officers verify eligibility. Tourists choose a 3-month or 6-month single entry.

How far in advance can I apply for a Turkey tourist visa?

A maximum of 60 days before travel. Delhi and Mumbai jurisdiction checklists ask for at least 15 working days before departure, and the Hyderabad checklist at least 6 working days.

Do Indians get a visa on arrival in Turkey?

No. Türkiye's Foreign Ministry requires Indian ordinary-passport holders to have a visa, through a sticker visa from a Turkish mission or the conditional e-Visa.
