| Feb 2, 2015 at 23:31 | comment | added | Relaxed | Well, yes, it does make sense because it's much less hassle than an actual visa and that's what the question is about. But the point is moot: Henley does include visa-on-arrival in their index. Meanwhile, you wrote that an eVisa “just means that you can apply for the visa online instead of visiting a Turkish embassy or consulate” and that's simply inaccurate. The program is an alternative for Turkey's visa-on-arrival scheme, people who were not eligible for it still need to apply for a visa the old-fashioned way. | |

The Henley Index lists however the "Number of countries and territories which can be entered without a visa by a citizen of the respective country", so it does not make sense to include countries, for which you either need a visa-on-arrival or a pre-arranged electronic visa. | |

But the Turkish e-visa was rolled out as an alternative to the visa-on-arrival, not as a new way to apply for a regular Turkish visa. You just need to provide basic info and pay a small fee, no need to send your passport or any supporting documentation. It seems closer to an ESTA than a traditional visa so it makes sense to include it in this context. | |

| Jan 31, 2015 at 21:53 | comment | added | Tor-Einar Jarnbjo | eVisa (in this context) just means that you can apply for the visa online instead of visiting a Turkish embassy or consulate. An application for a Turkish eVisa may of course be rejected, just as any other visa application. | |
| Jan 31, 2015 at 18:58 | comment | added | wvdz | I just checked those that say no visa required. For Turkey it says e-visa, but i assume that is a type of visa that is always accepted | |
| Jan 31, 2015 at 17:52 | comment | added | Tor-Einar Jarnbjo | There are further differences than the four you mention here. I don't care to check every country, but Swedes are e.g. allowed to travel to Turkey without a visa, while Dutch citizens require a visa for travel to Turkey. | |
