Turkish Airlines Travel documents

Use this Turkish Airlines document guide as a pre-departure checklist for accepted domestic identification and international passport, visa and transit requirements.

Summary

Indian passport holders need a passport valid at least 6 months beyond travel plus a Turkish visa arranged in advance (no visa-on-arrival) — apply for an e-Visa online or a sticker visa through the consulate. Passengers transiting Istanbul airside without leaving the airport don't need a transit visa.
