Since years, Turkey has allowed visa on arrival aka E-Visa for various nations at their international airports.
Passengers could walk up to an E-Visa Kiosk and avail the visa. However, in its latest move, Turkey has ceased its visa-on-arrival policy to a number of nationalities.
Citizens of over 100 countries, including India, Bhutan, Maldives & Nepal will have to apply for a visa beforehand.
