VISA
Regular Passport ✅ Visa Required
Green Passport ❌ Visa Not Required
Service Passport ❌ Visa Not Required
You must have a passport valid for 6 months from the end date of the trip and not older than 10 years.
For 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 you for the visa application. In order to avoid problems with customs police at the border gate of the country to be visited due to torn, worn, wet and/or similarly damaged passports; such passports must be renewed, and if the destination country applies a visa to Republic of Turkey citizens, the relevant visa must be in the new passport. Otherwise, responsibility belongs to the passenger. Since our guests under 18 traveling alone or with only one of their mother or father may be asked by the police officer in charge at entry and exit points for a document showing the parents’ mutual consent, we recommend that our guests under 18 and their parents pay attention to this matter.
*Having a valid passport and/or having obtained a visa (for a destination/passport requiring a visa) does not mean that entry to the country will be permitted. The passport police have the authority to deny you entry to the country. Our agency is not responsible for this situation; responsibility belongs to the passenger.
* As of 10 April 2026, within the scope of the European Entry/Exit System (EES) implemented in European Union countries, passport control procedures at border crossings are carried out by taking biometric data (fingerprint and facial recognition).
Due to this application, congestion, long waiting times, system delays, or inability to read biometric data may occur at airports and border gates.
These processes are entirely under the control of the relevant country’s border security units, and our agency has no authority to intervene. Therefore, our agency cannot be held responsible for possible delays, waiting times, and the resulting schedule disruptions.
It is strongly recommended that our guests’ passports be physically in suitable condition, that there be no conditions that may prevent biometric data from being taken (cuts, wounds, heavy cream, etc.), and that they allow sufficient time for border procedures.
“This application is an international security procedure, and all guests purchasing the tour are deemed to have accepted this process.”

The currency used in European countries is the Euro. It is recommended that you carry small amounts of Euros with you.
