Turkey visa from Dubai: Online processing and Requirements

Do Dubai nationals require a visa for Turkey?

Citizens of the United Arab Emirates can visit Turkey for tourism without a visa.

They're allowed to stay in Turkey for up to 90 days within a 180-day period without having to get a visa beforehand.

Do UAE residents require a visa for Turkey?

UAE residents are not automatically exempt from obtaining a visa. UAE residents must check their eligibility for an e-visa according to their nationality. If your nationality is not visa-exempt, then a visa is required.

UAE residents can be eligible for an in-person visa, e-visa, or a visa on arrival based on their nationality.

A visa for Turkey from the UAE can easily be obtained through Atlys or the government website if your nationality is eligible for an e-visa.

Is there a Turkey visa on arrival for UAE citizens?

There is no visa on arrival for citizens of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) travelling to Turkey. UAE citizens need to obtain a visa before travelling to Turkey.

Some UAE residents might be eligible for a visa on arrival based on their nationality.

Obtaining a visa before your travels is encouraged since a VOA is not guaranteed. If your visa on arrival is rejected, you’ll need to leave Turkey immediately.
