Visiting Istanbul, Cappadocia or Antalya? Indian passport holders cannot get a visa on arrival for Turkey, so you need to arrange entry permission before you fly. This page explains the usual routes, what accommodation proof to prepare, and how a hotel reservation PDF fits in. A dummy hotel booking is a reservation document, not a paid or confirmed stay.
E-Visa or embassy visa?
Turkey offers an online e-Visa to travellers who meet certain conditions, for example holding a valid visa or residence permit from specific countries. Other applicants apply for a sticker visa through the Turkish mission or its visa application centre. The conditions, fees and permitted stay change, and the sources we checked disagree with each other. Always confirm them on the official Turkey e-Visa site or with the Turkish mission before you apply.
Documents that are commonly requested
- A passport with enough validity beyond your stay
- A hotel reservation or accommodation details for your stay
- Flight reservations and a travel itinerary
- Proof of funds for the trip
- Any other documents listed on your application route
Common mistakes with Istanbul bookings
- Using the wrong route. Check whether you qualify for the e-Visa before you assume you do.
- Dates that do not match your flights. The document dates should agree with your tickets.
- A hotel in a different city from your stated plan. Keep your itinerary consistent.
- Presenting a reservation as a paid stay. Describe it honestly if you are asked.
