Guidelines & Visa
Visa information for international participants attending SIN 2026 in Türkiye. All participants must hold a passport valid for at least 6 months beyond the planned entry date, with at least one blank page for stamps. Türkiye's visa policy depends on your nationality and passport type; conference attendance generally falls under tourism or business (conference / seminar / meeting), allowing short stays of up to 90 days within any 180-day period in most cases.
Visa-exempt nationalities: citizens of many countries (most EU / Schengen states, the UK, USA ordinary passports, Japan, South Korea, and many others) may enter without a visa for short stays — a valid passport is enough.
e-Visa: nationals of many countries can obtain a single- or multiple-entry e-Visa online at evisa.gov.tr (usually within minutes, 24/7). Requirements: a valid passport, an email address and a credit/debit card. Print or save the e-Visa PDF and present it at entry. e-Visa is not valid for work or study.
Sticker (embassy) visa: if you are not eligible for exemption or e-Visa, apply through the nearest Turkish Embassy/Consulate via the pre-application system at konsolosluk.gov.tr. Processing can take weeks to months — apply early.
Invitation letter: many embassies appreciate (some require) an official invitation letter from the organizers. Contact the conference secretariat early with your full name, passport number, presentation details, dates and venue; some letters are issued only after registration/payment.
Start the visa process at least 2–3 months before travel. Always verify with the official sources (mfa.gov.tr and evisa.gov.tr) closer to your travel date.
