Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from the end date of travel and must not be older than 10 years.
In destinations requiring a visa, the visa application must be submitted with the documents specified in the "Documents Required for Visa" list provided by your agency. 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 traveler. 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 advise our guests under 18 and their parents to 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 traveler.
*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, long waiting times, system delays, or situations where biometric data cannot be read may occur at airports and border crossings.
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 that may occur during this process, and any program disruptions resulting from them.
It is strongly recommended that guests' passports are physically in good condition, that there are no conditions (cuts, wounds, heavy creams, etc.) that could prevent biometric data collection, and that they consider 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."

However, when you are not with the group, we recommend you be careful about food and drink, definitely consume bottled water, avoid ice, milk, and dairy products, consume meat and fish products that you are sure are well-cooked, and eat fruits like bananas and pineapples whose peels can be removed.
