Do South African citizens need a Turkey eVisa?
South African citizens looking to visit Turkey for tourism must apply for an eVisa before traveling to the country.
You’re eligible for a multiple-entry tourist eVisa that allows a stay of up to 30 days within a 180-day period. This eVisa is free. If you wish to stay in Turkey longer than the eVisa permits, you must apply for a residence permit. Please visit the Presidency of Migration Management website for more information on how to apply for one.
Here’s what you need to know about the Turkey eVisa.
