Do Turkish citizens need a visa for Eswatini?

Turkish citizens do need a visa for Eswatini (formerly Swaziland), but they do not have to apply in advance for a short trip.

At the border

  • Present your passport at the border post; the officer stamps the 30-day visa into it.
  • Plan your trip to stay within 30 days. If you need longer, arrange the visa with an Eswatini embassy before departure rather than at the border.
  • Carry your accommodation booking and return or onward ticket; border officers can ask to see them.

How Kolay Seyahat can help

For stays of up to 30 days you do not need an application. If your trip is longer, we can help you prepare the embassy application file. The decision to issue a visa rests with the authorities of Eswatini.
