Only evisa.gov.tr is the government application site.

Short answer

Only evisa.gov.tr is the Republic of Türkiye government e-Visa application site. iVisa and other paid application services are commercial companies, not the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Check whether your passport needs a visa before comparing service prices. Ordinary US, UK, Canadian, Australian, and Chinese passport holders are currently visa-exempt for tourist visits of up to 90 days in any 180-day period. A site selling those travellers an e-Visa is selling a need that does not exist for that trip.

Read the domain from right to left

The official host is evisa.gov.tr. It ends with .gov.tr.

evisa.govn.tr is different. The extra n turns gov into govn; it is not the government host. On July 14, 2026, that lookalike presented itself as a Republic of Türkiye e-Visa portal and used outdated eligibility language for US and UK citizens.

Words such as Turkey, visa, official, government, portal, or service elsewhere in a domain do not make it official. Open the MFA or e-Visa link above and compare every character before entering passport or card data.

Four documented sales patterns

Public pages observed on July 14, 2026 showed:

• turkey-visa.org: a USD $91 standard or USD $114 urgent service fee, plus a stated USD $13 to $99 government fee, for listed totals of USD $104 to $213.
• visasforms.com: called itself an “Official Turkey eVisa Service” and advertised USD $95 including the government fee, while later acknowledging that travellers can apply on the government website.
• turkey.gwsg.org: listed tourist visa products at USD $119 and USD $120 excluding VAT without first separating visa-exempt passports.
• evisa.govn.tr: used a lookalike domain and offered authorization under outdated US and UK eligibility wording.

These are observations of each site’s own public page, not government fee quotes. The official e-Visa fee varies by passport and appears only after the official eligibility choices.

Documented commercial sites

The cards below reproduce only evidence stored in data/official_urls/turkey.toml.

If you already paid

First check the MFA page. If your passport was already visa-exempt, ask the seller what service it claims to have delivered and request a refund. Keep the checkout page, receipt, emails, and eligibility evidence.

If your passport really requires an e-Visa:

• look for an official application reference and issued PDF;
• confirm that the email account and application reference are under your control;
• check the name, travel-document number, and validity against the passport;
• use the ongoing-application route on evisa.gov.tr before paying again;
• ask the card issuer about an undelivered or misleadingly described service when no usable result exists.

A commercial confirmation page is not proof that the Ministry issued an e-Visa.
