VISA
- There is a visa requirement for Turkish Republic citizens. For visa applications, you must apply with a passport valid for at least 6 months from the end date of travel and the documents listed in our agency’s “Documents Required for Visa” list.
- The visa must be obtained from the first country of entry on the tour or from the country where the longest stay will be made.
- There is no visa requirement for holders of green passports; a passport valid for at least 6 months from the end date of travel is sufficient.
- The visa information stated in the program is the information applicable to citizens of the Republic of Turkey. Guests holding a passport other than that of the Republic of Turkey must obtain visa information from the relevant consulates.
- Having a visa does not mean that entry into the country is guaranteed; the passport police have the authority to deny you entry. Lidya Tour is not responsible for this situation; responsibility belongs to the passenger.
- In order to avoid problems with customs police at the border of the country to be visited due to passports that are torn, worn, wet, and/or damaged in similar ways; the passports obtained must be renewed, and if the country applies a visa requirement for T.R. citizens, the relevant visa must be in the new passport. Otherwise, responsibility belongs to the passenger.
- Since there is a possibility that police officers at country entry and exit points may ask for a document showing the joint consent of the parents when our guests under 18 travel alone or with only one parent, we recommend that our guests under 18 and their parents be careful about this issue.
