What you'll need

Transit visa for Türkiye

Specific to Sint Maartener passport holders.

Start ~0–8 weeks before your intended travel date.

Order these first — they have the longest lead time

  • Valid passport

    Identity2–8 weeks

    Most countries require your passport to be valid for at least six months beyond your departure date, with two or more blank pages.

    How: Renew via your own country's passport office if expiring within 12 months.

Then gather these

  • Passport-style photograph

    Identity1–3 days

    A recent biometric photo to the destination's specifications. Most consulates require their own dimensions, not your home country's.

    How: Any high-street photo studio, or app-based services that meet ICAO 9303 spec.

  • Online visa application form

    Application1–3 days

    The destination's online form (DS-160 for US, gov.uk for UK, IRCC portal for Canada, ImmiAccount for Australia, e-Visa portal for most others).

    How: Apply directly on the destination government website — never via a third-party paid service.

  • Onward or return ticket

    Purpose evidence1 day

    Proof you intend to leave the country before your permitted stay expires. Most short-stay visas and visa-free entries require this.

    How: Book a refundable flight or use a 24-hour hold from an OTA. Border officers can check the booking.

Lead times are global averages. Country-specific channels can be faster (FBI Channeler in days vs FBI Mail in months) — always check the destination's embassy or visa portal for current timelines.
