Türkiye visa and entry rules from Saudi Arabia
Istanbul, Antalya, Trabzon · Last checked 18 October 2026
Do Saudi citizens need a visa for Türkiye?
Quick answer: No. Türkiye’s foreign ministry lists ordinary-passport holders from Saudi Arabia as visa-exempt for up to 90 days in any 180-day period. Entry depends on your passport, not on living in Saudi Arabia, so residents on other passports must check their own nationality on the Turkish foreign ministry’s visa page.
If you hold a Saudi passport
- Ordinary and official passport holders are exempt from the visa for up to 90 days in any 180-day period.
- No e-Visa is needed for this exemption.
If you live in Saudi Arabia on another passport
- Türkiye sets its rules by passport. The foreign ministry’s page lists the rule for each nationality, so look up yours before you book.
- Holding a Saudi iqama is not what decides entry. We do not list the rules for other nationalities here because we could not confirm them on one official page.
