How to Apply for a Turkey Visa in Las Vegas

Las Vegas is the largest city in the state of Nevada and located in the Mojave Desert, sandwiched between California and Arizona.  The Las Vegas metropolitan area, known as the Las Vegas Valley, includes Clark County and the cities of North Las Vegas, Henderson, and Boulder City, as well as several other unincorporated communities and neighborhoods.  The Las Vegas Valley has a population of 2.3 million people and has been America’s fastest growing city the past decade.  Although Las Vegas ranks only as the 28th-most populous city in the United States, there could be as many as 300,000 tourists visiting the city on any given day.  The Turkish immigrant community in Las Vegas is small but there are still a few Turkish restaurants around the city.  Las Vegas is a popular city for conventions and trade shows, making this is a great city for Turkish companies to introduce their products and services to the U.S. market and establish new business relationships.  

Turkey is a country in the Middle East with a population of 83 million people that is 2.75 times the size of Nevada by land area.  Istanbul, the country’s cultural and commercial capital, is an enormous city that spans the continents of Asia and Europe.  Izmir and Bursa are other important commercial centers.  There are hundreds of American companies doing business in Turkey across multiple sectors of the economy.  Las Vegas-based company, Scientific Games, recently signed a deal to deliver its services to the Turkish National Lottery.  Turkey is the 19th largest economy in the world and has a robust industrial sector that manufactures automobiles, ships, electronics, textiles, construction materials, and military hardware.  Turkey is also a popular tourist destination that attracts 50 million visitors each year thanks to its many historical sights and miles of picturesque coastline.  Seaside towns like Bodrum, Fethiye, Marmaris, Kaş, Alanya, and Kalkan attract visitors from all around the world. 

Obtaining a Turkey Visa from Las Vegas 

Getting a Turkey visa for Las Vegas area residents that have a valid American passport is easy.  If you are a U.S. citizen traveling to Turkey for tourism or business purposes, just use the Turkish government’s e-Visa website to apply for your visa: https://www.evisa.gov.tr/en/. 

The process of applying for the visa is straightforward and will take about five minutes to complete online—just have your passport in hand and fill out a few personal details.  The government will email you the visa as soon as you make payment.  You will print out this document and carry it with you on the day of your trip.  You will present this document along with your passport to the immigration official at the airport in Turkey.

This visa will be valid for 180 days and allows you to make multiple visits to Turkey within this period.  Your stay cannot exceed 90 days per visit.  The government fee for U.S. citizens is $50, plus a service fee of $1.50.  

The e-Visa is also available for many non-U.S. citizens; so if you live in the Las Vegas area but have a foreign passport, please check the Turkish government website to determine your eligibility for the e-Visa: https://www.evisa.gov.tr/en/apply/.  You can also review the requirements on the Ministry of Foreign Affairs website: http://www.mfa.gov.tr/visa-information-for-foreigners.en.mfa

If you are a foreign passport holder that is not eligible for the e-Visa, or if you are a U.S. citizen that is not traveling to Turkey for tourism or business meetings—for example, you plan to study in Turkey or will be employed in Turkey—you will be required to obtain a Turkish sticker visa (a visa that gets placed in your passport) through the Turkish government office in the United States.  The Turkish government is represented in the United States by six consulates located in Los Angeles, Chicago, Miami, Boston, Houston, and New York City, along with one embassy located in Washington, D.C.  To get started with the process of obtaining a Turkish sticker visa, please check the embassy website for more details: https://www.konsolosluk.gov.tr/VisaInfo/Index.
