Turkey visa & eVisa guide 2026 · Last updated: June 2026 · Reviewed by the Gulliver Holidays visa team
End-to-end Turkey Tourist Visa and eVisa support for UAE residents in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah and every emirate. Quick processing, zero embassy visits for eligible nationalities — Gulliver Holidays manages everything from application to approval.
Whether you need a visa for Turkey — and which kind — depends on your passport nationality, not your UAE residency. UAE nationals travel visa-free for up to 90 days. Many expat residents, including Indian and Filipino passport holders, qualify for the fully online Turkish eVisa, usually approved within 24–72 hours. Nationalities not eligible for the eVisa, such as Pakistani and Bangladeshi passport holders, apply for the consular Turkey Tourist Visa, which generally takes 5–15 working days. Gulliver Holidays checks your eligibility, prepares your documents and files the application for you — from Dubai or Abu Dhabi.
