How do I get a Türkiye e-visa?: Apply at evisa.gov.tr — official government portal. Fee depends on nationality ($35-$60 typical). Approval usually instant; never more than 24 hours.
Does my passport need to be valid for 6 months?: For Türkiye specifically, your passport must be valid at least 60 days past your planned exit date. Most other Mediterranean countries require 6 months — Türkiye is more generous.
Can I extend my visa-free stay?: Yes — apply at any Provincial Migration Office for a short-term residence permit before your 90 days expire. Easiest at Antalya migration office (Lara).
What about a "visa run" to Cyprus or Greece?: Common digital nomad trick. Fly to Larnaca (Cyprus) or Athens, stay 1 night, fly back — you get a fresh 90 days. Works but watch the 90-in-180 rule: you cannot stay >90 days total within any rolling 180.
