I am travelling to Turkey in ten days on an already approved e-Visa. The visa document says that, I need to prove that I hold a return ticket, hotel reservation and at least 50 $ per each day of my stay.

My questions:

  1. Hotel reservation: I am staying in Turkey for 8 days, out of which I have hotel reservation only for 4 days. For the rest of the days, I am hiking. Do I really need to show hotel reservation for all 8 days?
  2. 50$ per day proof: How do I show that proof? In cash?

I got a reply from Turkish embassy for my question. I will post it here verbatim:

You should comply with all the requirements stated in the e-visa site. You can at least show your hotel reservations + hiking tour documents. You can show some cash + credit cards + bank statement.

My take on it is that these requirements sound pretty lax but you should try to take as many supporting documents as you can.

We arrived in Istanbul last month from the UK and I was not asked to prove this $50 requirement, nor was I even aware of it. My passport was stamped in a few seconds and that was that.

I guess it depends on where you are travelling from. If you are coming from the West, I would imagine they think you're going to be able to support yourself. If you're coming from a poor country then they might think you're there to look for work. That might be unfortunate but that's the way of the world.
