As of April 17, 2013, electronic visa (e-visa) replaces “sticker visa” which was formerly issued at the border crossings. The applicant just need to log on to https://www.evisa.gov.tr/en/. The process is relatively quick. The applicant is requested to provide necessary information and once application is approved, makes online payment (about USD $20 for single entry) and downloads the e-visa.
All delegates are responsible for securing all necessary visas to enter Istanbul, including transit visas.
