I had a layover in Turkey coming up and was confused about whether I needed a visa, so I did some digging. The airport transit eVisa is only for certain nationalities and requires your final destination to be Colombia, Mexico, Panama, or Venezuela. You cannot leave the airport transit area with this visa, so it is strictly for waiting between flights. I found the Turkey Airport Transit eVisa really helpful for understanding the rules. You need a scan of your passport bio page and your onward flight booking details. The visa is valid for just 24 hours, so apply close to your travel date. If you are in a hurry, super rush processing gets it to you within an hour. While waiting, you can use lounges, shops, restaurants, or even short stay rest zones at major airports.
