Service Passport      ❌       Visa Not Required

You must have a passport valid for 6 months from the end date of travel and not older than 10 years.

In destinations where a visa is required, the visa application must be made with the documents specified in the “Documents Required for Visa” list that your agency will provide to you for the visa application. In order to avoid problems with customs police at the border of the country to be visited due to torn, worn, wet and/or similarly damaged passports; such passports must be renewed, and if it is a country that applies visas to T.C. citizens, the relevant visa must be in the new passport. Otherwise, responsibility belongs to the passenger. Since our guests under 18 may be asked for a document showing the mutual consent of the parents by the police officer on duty at country entry and exit 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.

HEALTH
*We do not think you will encounter any health-threatening issues with meals taken in the region’s good restaurants and hotels. However, when you are not with the group, we recommend being careful about eating and drinking, definitely consuming bottled water, avoiding ice, milk and dairy products, eating meat and fish products that you are sure are well cooked, and for fruit, choosing fruits that can be peeled, such as bananas and pineapples.

*For possible health problems or injuries that may occur due to reasons beyond your control, we strongly recommend that you obtain a report and invoice from the health facilities where you receive treatment. It will be useful for insurance-related procedures if needed.
