Turkey visa for UK residents, sorted from start to finish. British passport holders can visit Turkey visa-free, but many non-British UK residents — Skilled Worker visa holders, international students, spouse visa holders, refugees and Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR) holders — need a visa before they fly. Some qualify for the online Turkey e-Visa thanks to their UK status; others must apply for a sticker visa in person at Voya Visa in London.
Whether you are flying to Istanbul, exploring Cappadocia or attending meetings in Ankara, GoSchengen confirms the right route for your passport, checks your documents, and files your e-Visa or prepares your complete Voya Visa file — so you board with the correct visa and no last-minute surprises.
Whether you need a Turkish visa depends on your passport. Your UK status then decides how you apply — a valid UK visa or residence permit can unlock the faster online e-Visa for many nationalities.
Full British passport holders can enter Turkey without a visa for tourist or business stays of up to 90 days within a 180-day period.
If you hold an Indian, Pakistani, Bangladeshi, Nigerian or other visa-required passport while living in the UK, you must get a visa before travelling — either the online e-Visa (if you qualify) or a sticker visa through Voya Visa London.
| Your Passport | UK Status | Route | Typical Stay |
|---|---|---|---|
| British | Citizen | Visa-free | Up to 90 days in 180 |
| Indian, Pakistani, Bangladeshi, Filipino & other conditional e-Visa nationalities | Valid UK visa or residence permit (BRP / UK eVisa) | Conditional Turkey e-Visa (online) | Usually up to 30 days, single entry |
| Same nationalities | No qualifying UK document | Sticker visa via Voya Visa London | As issued |
| Nigerian & other non-e-Visa nationalities | Any UK status | Sticker visa via Voya Visa London | As issued |
| Refugee travel document holders | UK refugee status | Sticker visa via Voya Visa London | As issued |
Depending on your nationality and UK status, your application goes through one of two official channels.
Available to certain nationalities — such as India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and the Philippines — who hold a valid UK, US, Schengen or Irish visa or residence permit. It is applied for fully online, usually decided within minutes to 72 hours, and typically allows a single entry of up to 30 days. Some nationalities must meet extra conditions, such as a return ticket, hotel booking and proof of funds — we check yours before filing.
For nationalities that cannot use the e-Visa (such as Nigeria), applicants without a qualifying UK document, refugee travel document holders, and long or special visas. You attend in person at Voya Visa, 110 Kingsland Road, London E2 8DP. We prepare your complete file, review your bank statements and help you book your appointment.
BRP cards have been replaced by digital UK eVisas, so many residents are unsure what counts as their "UK residence permit" for the Turkey e-Visa. The Turkish e-Visa form asks for details of your UK visa or residence permit, and it must be valid on the day you enter Turkey. We check your UKVI status record, enter the details correctly, and tell you exactly what to carry — such as your status printout or share code — in case your airline or Turkish border officers ask for proof.
To avoid a refused e-Visa or a returned sticker visa file, here is what UK residents typically need:
Travel Insurance for Voya Applications: Voya Visa London's sticker visa fees include Turkish travel insurance (3 months for single entry, 6 months for multiple entry), so you do not need to buy separate cover for the application. Bring any extra documents Voya requests on the day.

We structure your application around your exact reason for travelling to Turkey.

Not every passport qualifies for Turkey's online e-Visa, and the conditional e-Visa only works with a valid UK visa or residence permit. Applying through the wrong route is one of the most common — and most preventable — causes of delay or refusal.
If your nationality does not qualify for an e-Visa, or your UK status will not be valid on your entry date, you need a sticker visa through Voya Visa London. Turkey does not offer a visa on arrival for these travellers, and airlines check your visa before boarding. GoSchengen prepares your full Voya file and helps you secure the earliest available appointment.
