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 ձեզ.
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 a similar way; such passports should be renewed, and if it is a country that applies a visa to T.C. citizens, the relevant visa must be in the new passport. Otherwise, responsibility belongs to the passenger.
Since there is a possibility that our guests under the age of 18 may be asked for a document showing the joint consent of the mother and father by the police officer on duty at the country entry-exit while traveling alone or only with one of their parents, we recommend that our guests under 18 and their parents pay attention to this issue.

We do not think that you will encounter any problem in the meals to be taken in the region's good restaurants and hotels that will threaten your health. However, when you are not with the group, we recommend that you be careful about food and drink, definitely consume bottled water, avoid ice, milk and dairy products, eat meat and fish products that you are sure are well cooked, and for fruit, eat fruits that can be peeled, such as bananas and pineapples.

IMPORTANT NOTES
Having a valid passport and/or a visa obtained (for visa-required destinations/passports) does not mean that entry into the country will be granted. The passport police have the authority to refuse your entry into the country. The agency is not responsible for this situation; responsibility belongs to the passenger.
The agency is an intermediary institution between the airline and the passenger and is subject to the Hague Protocol of 28.09.1955.
