There is only one official government website for the Turkish e-Visa: www.evisa.gov.tr. Because Turkey's e-Visa system is one of the most used in the world, dozens of "copycat" or "broker" websites have appeared that look remarkably official, often using the Turkish national colors and crest. While many of these third-party sites will actually get you a visa, they are not the official source and will charge you a "service fee" that can be three to four times higher than the official government rate (which is typically around $50 USD for US citizens). Some of these sites also lack proper data security, putting your passport and payment information at risk. In 2026, the official site remains easy to use and provides the visa via email in a matter of minutes. If you are on a site that asks for more than the standard government fee or doesn't have a ".gov.tr" domain, you are likely on a third-party site. Always double-check the URL to ensure you are dealing directly with the Republic of Türkiye’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
