Do UK citizens need a Turkey e-visa?

Turkey runs an official e-visa website for the nationalities that need one. Websites still sell "Turkey e-visas" to British travellers — check below whether you need one at all.

Do British passport holders need one?

No, not at the moment. Visa-free entry. Up to 90 days in any 180-day period.

The official website is

evisa.gov.tr

Go to evisa.gov.tr ↗

Check the address bar shows evisa.gov.tr before you enter passport or card details.

Avoid paying a lookalike website

There is nothing to buy. Websites still offering a Turkey e-visa to British travellers are charging you for something you don't currently need.
