The gorgeous coastline and year-round sunny climate have made the south-west coast of Turkey a favorite retirement haven for British, Germans, and Scandinavians. Similarly, Iranians and Saudis have always considered Turkey a second home with investments in the country. Lately, Istanbul is attracting many digital nomads because of its exciting culture, coupled with a low <a href=\"https:\/\/www.expatinfodesk.com\/destinations\/istanbul\/cost-of-living\/\">cost of living<\/a>. Consequently, in 2019 Turkey saw nearly 700,000 new immigrants.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h3 class=\"western\">General Tourist Visa for Turkey<\/h3>\n<p class=\"western\">Entry to Turkey is different for every country.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\"><span style=\"color: #0b0c0c;\">British citizens and most European citizens traveling to Turkey for tourist or business purposes can travel without a visa for visits of up to 90 days in any 180 days.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"> U.S. citizens who wish to visit Turkey for less than 90 days may obtain an e-visa for Turkey at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.evisa.gov.tr\/\">www.evisa.gov.tr<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">Canadian citizens, similarly, must apply for an e-visa at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.evisa.gov.tr\/\">www.evisa.gov.tr<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">Tourist visas are for up to 90 days in 180 days.
