Do I need a transit visa for Turkey if I have an onwards flight from IST
I am an Indian citizen flying from Glasgow to New Delhi. I am changing planes in Istanbul Airport, with a layover of about 4 hours before going to New Delhi in India. My issue is that I am using 2 non aligned airlines, KLM from Glasgow to Istanbul and Indigo from Istanbul to Delhi, India. Do I need a transit visa, since I have to collect my bags and check in again for the other airline?

Does Turkish Airlines require transit visa?
If you are planning to use Turkey as a transit to reach your destination country, and you have to pass through the immigration or stay in Turkey overnight, then you may need a visa. All those who need a visa to enter Turkey for tourism and the other purposes of entry need a visa for transit purposes as well.Are Indians allowed to transit Istanbul?
