VISA & PASSPORT
Europe requires visas for citizens of the Republic of Turkey.
Ordinary Passport ✅ Visa required
Green Passport ❌ Visa not required
Service Passport ❌ Visa not required
You must have a passport that is valid for 6 months from the end date of the trip and is not older than 10 years.
In destinations requiring a visa, the visa application must be made with the documents specified in the “Documents Required for Visa” list that your agency will send ձեզ. In order to avoid problems with customs police at the border checkpoint of the country to be visited due to torn, worn, wet and/or similarly damaged passports, such passports should be renewed, and if it is a country that applies visas to Turkish Republic citizens, the relevant visa must be in the new passport. Otherwise, the responsibility belongs to the passenger. Since our guests under 18 may be asked by the police officer at the country entry-exit points to present a document showing the mutual consent of the mother and father when traveling alone or with only one of their parents, we recommend that our guests under 18 and their parents be sensitive about this matter.
