70 visa-free countries for Turkish citizens

Turkish citizens can enter 70 of the 210 countries we hold entry rules for without applying for a visa in advance. A further 30 issue a visa on arrival at the border. 38 can be applied for online before you travel. Every country below links to the full rule for a Turkey passport: the stay it allows, the passport validity required and any arrival registration to complete separately.

Visa-free

70

Admitted on arrival with nothing applied for in advance. Passport validity and any arrival registration still apply.

Travel authorisation

7

Not a visa, but it must be approved online before you board. An airline will refuse check-in without one.

Visa on arrival

30

Issued at the border, usually for a fee. The documents it requires are checked at the counter rather than corrected there.

e-Visa

31

Applied for and approved online before you travel, with no embassy appointment.

Visa required in advance

72

Apply before you travel. Some of these start online and still involve biometrics, an appointment and several weeks, so open the country for the detail.

Common questions

Travelling on a Turkey passport, answered from the same rules listed above.

70, out of the 210 countries covered here. That counts destinations admitting a Turkey passport with nothing applied for in advance. It does not count the 30 that issue a visa at the border or the 31 with an e-visa, which are listed separately below.

Albania, Angola, Antigua & Barbuda, Argentina, Azerbaijan, Bahamas, Barbados and Belarus and 62 more, grouped in the list above by what each one asks for. Every country links to the exact rule, because the stay a visa-free entry allows ranges widely between them.

30 of the 210 listed, including Armenia, Bangladesh, Burundi, Cambodia, Comoros, Djibouti, Egypt and Ethiopia. A visa on arrival is issued at the border, and the fee and documents it requires are checked at the counter rather than corrected there.

31 of the 210 listed, including Anguilla, Bahrain, Benin, Bhutan, Burkina Faso, Chad, Cote d'Ivoire and Cuba. An e-visa is applied for and approved online before you travel, with no embassy appointment.

Yes, for Kenya, Mexico, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Seychelles, South Korea, Sri Lanka and Suriname. A travel authorisation is not a visa — it is an online pre-screening of travellers who already need no visa — but it must be approved before you board, and an airline will refuse check-in without it.

Yes. Every Schengen country in this list requires a visa for a Turkey passport. One short-stay Schengen visa covers all 29 members, so you apply once — to the country you will spend the most time in — rather than per destination.

Other passports

The same question on a different nationality. Rules differ sharply between passports, so check the one you will actually travel on.

Check any passport against any destination

This is guidance, not authorisation. Entry rules change without notice and the final decision always rests with border officials. Dual nationality, residence permits and travel for any purpose other than tourism can change the answer. Confirm with the official government source before you book or fly.
