I have been researching the Turkey visa process and found that the application is actually quite straightforward for most travelers. The Turkey Visa Information page breaks down all the visa types clearly, from tourist and business visas to work, study, and transit options. The eVisa system only takes about three minutes to complete online and works for stays up to 30 or 90 days depending on your nationality. Just remember your passport needs six months validity from arrival and you should have travel health insurance for your entire stay. If you are staying longer than 90 days, you will need to apply for a short term residence permit instead. The site also explains requirements for students, employed travelers, and even tour operator representatives, so it is worth a look before you start your application.
