Entry for Thai passport holders
Thai passport holders can visit Turkey for short tourism without a visa under current rules, but work, study or long-term residence requires a visa from the Turkish Embassy in Bangkok.
Work and study visas
Work visas need a Turkish employer as sponsor, and student visas need an acceptance letter. Thai documents usually must be translated into Turkish or English and certified.
Document legalisation
Thai official documents used in Turkey must be certified by the Department of Consular Affairs and the Turkish Embassy in Bangkok before use.
