Entrada e vistos
Many nationalities enter visa-free for 90 days in 180 (including UK, EU, Japan, and since 2024 the US and Canada among others); some still need the online e-Visa. Longer stays require a short-term residence permit, which has become harder to obtain for tourism purposes in Istanbul's central districts.
