Istanbul – where the Orient gracefully glides past your window

Key points to note:

Direct flights from Vietnam to Istanbul with Turkish Airlines take approximately 10 hours, with ticket prices starting from 1,000 USD. Other airlines require layovers.

Turkey has implemented an electronic visa (e-visa) system with fast and convenient procedures. Eligibility criteria include holding a valid US, Schengen, or UK visa. With the e-visa, travelers can easily complete visa formalities online without the typical 3-week to 1-month waiting period of regular visas. No need to prepare documents or submit applications at embassies; applicants simply need to provide basic information directly on the website https://www.evisa.gov.tr/en/ and make payment using a MasterCard or Visa Card with a fee of 45 USD. The e-visa will then be sent to the applicant's email inbox. Travelers can print and present the e-visa along with their passport and flight ticket at immigration counters.
