How long can New Zealand citizens stay in Turkey without a visa?
Up to 90 days without a visa, per the Passport Index snapshot of 12 January 2025. Entry rules change — re-check evisa.gov.tr before booking.
Can New Zealand citizens extend a stay in Turkey?
Extensions are decided by the Republic of Türkiye e-Visa portal, not by the entry rule itself, and policies shift without much notice. Check evisa.gov.tr for what is currently possible — don't plan around an extension you haven't confirmed.
Do I need an onward ticket to enter Turkey?
Possibly — proof of onward travel is a routine airline and border check that sits outside the visa dataset on this page. Confirm on safetravel.govt.nz and with your carrier before booking a one-way ticket.
What happens if New Zealand citizens overstay in Turkey?
Overstaying any permitted stay can mean fines, deportation or future entry bans — the specifics are set by the Republic of Türkiye e-Visa portal and are not part of this dataset. If you're close to the limit, check evisa.gov.tr for exact consequences and options.
