My Turkey e-visa status shows "rejected." What should I do?

If your Turkey visa application status shows "rejected," understand and address the reasons for rejection before reapplying.

Some of the common Turkey e-visa rejection reasons include the following:

  • Incomplete or inaccurate application: Missing or mismatching information on your visa and travel documents can often lead to visa rejection.

  • Invalid passport: Having a passport with a validity of less than at least 60 days beyond the 'duration of stay' of your Turkey e-visa can cause a rejection.

  • Incorrect photographs: Submitting photos that do not meet the visa photo requirements (e.g., must be clear, unedited, and not older than 6 months) can cause issues.

  • Invalid supporting documents: Depending on your nationality, you might be required to provide hotel reservations, flight tickets, or a valid visa or residence permit from one of the Schengen Countries, the USA, UK, or Ireland. If the provided supporting document is invalid or fake, your e-visa application will be automatically rejected.

What information do I need to check the Turkey e-visa status online?

You only need the reference number and email address to check the Turkey e-visa status on the Atlys tool.

Can I check the Turkey e-visa status on the government website?

Yes, here is how you can track the Turkey e-visa status on the government website:

  1. Visit the Republic of Turkiye e-visa website. 

  2. Click ‘Ongoing Application’ under the Application section at the bottom of the homepage. 

  3. Provide your passport number, reference number and email address. 

  4. Enter Captcha and click ‘Continue’ to see the result. 

I have applied through the government website. Can I check my Turkey e-visa status using the Atlys tool?

Yes, you can track your visa application on the Atlys Turkey visa status tracker even if you have applied through the government website.

Can I check the Turkey visa status online using my passport number?

Yes; however, you cannot do Turkey visa status check by passport number alone. You will also need the reference number and email address to track the status.

My Turkey e-visa status is still showing "in process." What can I do?

If your Turkey e-visa status is still showing "in process," there might be two possible scenarios:

  • Still within the processing window: The Turkey e-visa application is generally processed within 48 hours of submission. So, it's normal for the status to remain "in process" during this period.

  • Processing delays: If the status remains unchanged even after the processing time is over, check your email's spam or junk folder to see if you have missed any updates. If there are no updates, contact the e-visa support team of the application platform through which you applied.
