Ordinary/bordo passport: consider the e-visa route. Special, service or diplomatic passport: check the exemption first.
Choose by passport class before choosing an e-visa package
The Turkish MFA distinguishes ordinary passports from special, service and diplomatic passports for Vietnam. Nationality alone therefore does not answer the first question on this page. Check the class printed on the actual document you will present.
| Turkish passport class | Published position for the visit |
|---|---|
| Ordinary — umuma mahsus / bordo | Visa required; check the e-visa route for the intended journey. |
| Special — hususi / green | Listed exemption for visits up to 90 days, subject to applicable conditions. |
| Service — hizmet / grey | Listed exemption for visits up to 90 days, subject to applicable conditions. |
| Diplomatic | Listed exemption for visits up to 90 days, subject to applicable conditions. |
If the exemption is the route for your passport and visit, confirm its conditions first. Do not buy an ordinary-passport package simply because another person in the travelling party needs one.
Search for the correct direction: Turkish citizens entering Vietnam
Search results can mix Vietnam visas for Turkish travellers with Türkiye visas for Vietnamese travellers. The nationality, destination and authority are reversed. A change in Türkiye’s policy for Vietnamese citizens cannot establish your permission to enter Vietnam.
Use this guide for the Vietnamese destination and the Turkish passport. An older advisory may also show a retired portal address; verify the current issuing instructions when arranging the visa. Do not treat a dated link as evidence that a different visa policy applies.
Copy the passport’s name fields and identify the nationality correctly
The nationality list used in this application labels the Turkish option Turkey. Choose it for the travelling Turkish passport even if the holder lives in Germany, the UK or another country. Residence and contact information have separate fields.
For names containing Turkish characters, use the spelling and fields in the passport, with the machine-readable information as a reference where relevant. Do not improvise a new Latin-character spelling from a nickname or another booking account. Compare surname, given and middle names with the uploaded data page before saving.
For an ordinary passport, organise the trip before the upload
Write the first arrival and final exit dates down, and include any departure to another country between them. Returning to Vietnam is another entry. The number of hotel bookings or domestic flights does not determine whether the visa must allow one or more entries.
For the form, have the passport information page, portrait, accommodation address, planned border gates and emergency contact ready. Select the actual purpose of entry. A holiday application should not be used as a substitute for resolving employment or another purpose requiring separate arrangements.
Begin the ordinary Turkish-passport application when that route matches the document and visit. Review the selected entry type, typed details and USD package amount before payment.
QUESTIONS BEFORE YOU APPLY
Türkiye passport: Vietnam visa questions
Does a Turkish ordinary bordo passport need a Vietnam visa?
Turkish MFA guidance says ordinary passport holders are visa-required. Check the e-visa route for the passport and intended visit, and arrange the required approval before travel.
Is a Turkish green passport treated the same as a bordo passport?
No. The MFA distinguishes special, service and diplomatic passports from ordinary passports and lists an exemption of up to 90 days for those categories. Confirm that your actual document and trip satisfy the exemption conditions.
Which nationality option matches a Turkish passport?
The application’s nationality list uses Turkey. Select that entry for a Turkish passport; your residence in another country is not the nationality of the document.
Are Turkey’s e-visa rules for Vietnamese citizens relevant to this application?
No. That is the opposite direction of travel. This guide covers Turkish passport holders entering Vietnam; rules for Vietnamese citizens entering Türkiye cannot establish your Vietnamese entry permission.
How should I copy Turkish characters in passport names?
Follow the name fields and the Latin-character spelling printed in the travel document, including the machine-readable information where relevant. Do not substitute an informal spelling; ask before submission if the fields are unclear.
