Important: Eligibility is not determined by nationality alone. Applicants must satisfy the additional conditions displayed by the official Türkiye e-Visa system for their specific nationality and travel dates.
Financial Requirement
Where the applicable nationality conditions require proof of funds, applicants should be prepared to demonstrate sufficient financial means for their stay.
For the conditions covered by this guide, the stated requirement is at least US$50 per day of stay in Türkiye.
Applicants should ensure that their financial evidence is consistent with their intended travel dates and overall circumstances.
Is Kenya Eligible for the Türkiye e-Visa?
The eligibility list currently published on the official Türkiye e-Visa information page does not list Kenya among the countries shown on that page.
Kenyan travellers should therefore confirm their eligibility directly through the official Türkiye e-Visa application system before making travel arrangements. Visa rules and eligibility conditions can change, and the official application system is the appropriate source for the final determination.
Greentod Visa Solutions can assist Kenyan travellers in assessing the appropriate Türkiye visa route based on their individual circumstances.
Türkiye e-Visa Requirements
Where an applicant qualifies for the e-Visa route, the applicable requirements may include:
- Travel to Türkiye for tourism or business
- A valid passport or qualifying travel document
- A return or onward ticket
- Hotel or accommodation reservation
- Sufficient financial means for the intended stay
- A qualifying supporting visa or residence permit, where required
- Compliance with the passport-validity requirements
- Compliance with all nationality-specific conditions shown during the application
The official Türkiye e-Visa system states that a passport or travel document must generally remain valid for at least 60 days beyond the duration of stay permitted by the visa, e-Visa, visa exemption or residence permit. Additional requirements may apply depending on nationality.
Supporting Visa or Residence Permit
For nationalities subject to a supporting-document requirement, applicants may need to hold a valid visa or residence permit issued by an accepted country or group of countries.
Depending on the applicant’s nationality, accepted supporting documents can include visas or residence permits issued by:
- Schengen countries
- United States
- United Kingdom
- Ireland
The supporting document must satisfy the validity conditions applicable to the applicant. The official e-Visa system also confirms that e-Visas issued by other countries are not accepted as supporting documents.
Applicants should therefore check the exact supporting-document requirements displayed during their application rather than relying on a general list.
Türkiye e-Visa Validity and Duration of Stay
For the visa conditions covered by this guide, the e-Visa is stated as:
- Validity: 180 days (6 months)
- Entry: Single entry
- Maximum stay: 30 days
It is important to distinguish between visa validity and permitted stay.
A visa valid for six months does not mean that a traveller may remain in Türkiye for six months. Under the stated conditions, the maximum permitted stay is 30 days.
Türkiye e-Visa Processing Time
Processing is expected to be within 12 hours, subject to successful completion of the application and satisfaction of all eligibility requirements.
Applicants should avoid submitting inaccurate or incomplete information simply to obtain faster processing. Passport details, personal information and travel details should be checked carefully before submission.
