PARTICIPATION REQUIREMENT

VISA

Ordinary Passport        ✅      Visa Required

Green Passport            ❌      Visa Not Required

Service Passport      ❌       Visa Not Required

Your passport must be valid for at least 3 months beyond the planned departure date from the Schengen Area and must have been issued within the last 10 years.
In destinations requiring a visa, the visa application must be made using 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, ensure the relevant visa is placed in the new passport. In case of non-compliance, responsibility lies with the passenger. For guests under 18 years old traveling alone or with only one parent, there may be a request by the police officer at the entry/exit points for a document showing joint parental consent; therefore, we recommend that guests under 18 and their parents pay special attention to this matter. 
*Having a valid passport and/or having obtained a visa (for visa-required destinations/passports) 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; responsibility lies with the passenger.
* Under the European Entry/Exit System (EES), which began to be implemented gradually on October 12, 2025, and fully operational as of April 10, 2026, 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, systemic 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, or program disruptions that may arise from these processes.
It is strongly recommended that guests' passports are 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."

HEALTH
For those taking regular medication, it is recommended to bring more than needed. Medications may not be available everywhere in the country. Additionally, if you have a serious health issue (heart, blood pressure, diabetes, etc.), it would be beneficial to carry a document signed by your doctor. Furthermore, we recommend that you do not drink tap water and instead consume bottled water that you open yourself.
