Tourist Visa from Nigeria to Turkey
- This visa is issued to persons who want to visit family members, relatives and friends in Turkey from Nigeria.
- Tourist visas are single-entry visas and they are valid for up to 3 months (90 days).
- Turkish visit visas are valid for multiple stays up to a maximum of 90 days in a 180 day period.
- The 90 days must cover you for the entire time you are in Turkey and not just parts of that time.
- The penalty for overstaying your visa can be a fine (which increases depending on the time spent over the time limit), potential deportation and in some cases, a ban on returning to the country.
- This ban can be anywhere between three months and five years.
- Generally, there are two types of tourist visas - a single-entry visa (called Tek giris) and a multiple-entry visa (called Muteaddit giris).
- A single-entry visa allows a one-time entry into Turkey and once you leave the country (irrespective of your length of stay) you need to obtain a separate visa to re-enter Turkey.
- A multiple-entry visa on the other hand, permits multiple entries into the country within the span of its validity without incurring any additional cost.
- If you plan to enter and leave Turkey 4 - 5 times in a span of three months, for instance, it is worthwhile going for a "Muteaddit giris".
- Certain nationalities will automatically be granted a multiple-entry visa on payment of their fee at their port of entry.
