VISA, PASSPORT AND EUROPEAN ENTRY/EXIT SYSTEM (EES)
Ordinary Passport Visa Required
Green Passport No Visa Required
Service Passport No Visa Required
Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from the end date of your trip and must not be 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 provided by your travel agent. To avoid issues with customs police at the border of the country to be visited due to torn, worn, wet, and/or otherwise damaged passports; it is necessary to renew such passports, and if the destination country requires a visa for Turkish citizens, the relevant visa must be on the new passport. In case of non-compliance, the responsibility lies with the passenger. For guests under 18 years of age traveling alone or with only one parent, there may be a request from the police officer at the entry/exit points for a document showing joint parental consent; therefore, we recommend that guests under 18 years of age and their parents pay special attention to this matter.
*Having a valid passport and/or having obtained a visa (for destinations/passports where a visa is required) does not guarantee entry into the country. The passport police have the authority to deny you entry. Our agency is not responsible for this situation; the responsibility lies with the passenger.
*As of April 10, 2026, within the framework of the European Entry/Exit System (EES) implemented in European Union countries, passport control procedures at border crossings are carried out by collecting biometric data (fingerprints and facial recognition).
Due to this application, congestion at airports and border crossings, long waiting times, systemic delays, or situations where biometric data cannot be read may occur.
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 any delays, waiting times, or program disruptions that may arise as a result.
It is strongly recommended that guests' passports be physically in good condition, free from conditions that could prevent biometric data collection (cuts, wounds, heavy creams, 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."
AIR TICKETS AND FLIGHTS INFORMATION
*Flight times and flight ticket reservation numbers will be shared by our agency before the tour date. Due to group reservations, you can complete your baggage and customs procedures at the specified time and counter with just your passport, even without your ticket. Check-in procedures are handled by our agency.
*During registration, the name, date of birth, passport number, and ID number on the passport must be entered into the system. Flight tickets are issued based on this information. Any flight ticket cancellations or changes resulting from incorrect information will be charged to the guests as no-show fees.
*In cases where you fail to participate due to arriving late for the flight or being unable to board the flight due to your own reasons, our agency is not responsible for any losses incurred from payments made to hotels and airlines.
*Our agency acts as an intermediary between the airline and the passenger and is subject to the Hague Protocol of September 28, 1955.

TIME ZONE
Turkey is 1 hour ahead of Finland during winter time zones. For example, when it is 18:30 in Turkey, it is 17:30 in Finland.
CURRENCY
The currency used in Finland is the Euro (EUR). Credit/bank card usage is very common for daily shopping and personal expenses. Guests are advised to carry some Euros for small expenses.
ELECTRICAL SOCKETS
Electrical sockets are the same as in Turkey.
FOOD CULTURE
Finnish cuisine; shaped by cold climate conditions and the diversity of natural products, stands out with its simple yet satisfying flavors. Fish, reindeer meat, potatoes, rye bread, mushrooms, and forest berries are among the basic elements of the cuisine; while salmon soup Lohikeitto, traditional rye dough Karjalanpiirakka, Poronkäristys prepared with reindeer meat, and cinnamon bun Korvapuusti are among the main flavors symbolizing Finnish cuisine.
HEALTH
*Although no specific health risks regarding food and drink are anticipated in Finland, we recommend maintaining regular nutrition and adequate fluid intake throughout the trip. Due to the low air temperatures in Lapland, especially on days spent outdoors for long periods, consuming hot beverages, not skipping meals, and eating according to your personal health status is important. It is recommended to choose well-known and reliable restaurants and cafes, and guests with personal allergies or food sensitivities should inquire about ingredients before ordering.
*Due to the fact that air temperatures in Lapland during winter months can reach very low levels, it is important to dress appropriately against the cold during outdoor activities, use the thermal clothing provided within the program, and consider your personal health status on days when you will be outside for extended periods.
*In the event of an unexpected health issue or injury during the trip, we strongly recommend obtaining a report from the medical facility consulted and invoices related to the expenses incurred. These documents may be required for procedures covered by travel health insurance and should be kept until the end of the trip.
SHOPPING
There is an opportunity to shop for souvenirs unique to Finland, Lapland-themed products, handmade items, and local products in shops located in city centers and tourist spots. Additionally, you can find various souvenir products for your loved ones in souvenir shops located in the Santa Claus Village.
