Where can you go on a Türkiye passport?

The Turkish passport offers visa-free or eTA-only access to most of the Balkans, Latin America, and parts of Africa and Asia, but requires Schengen visas for EU travel and ESTA for US travel. Turkey's recent bilateral agreements have expanded mutual-visa-exemption arrangements with Russia, Ukraine, Azerbaijan, Singapore, and several Latin American countries. Long-stay routes for Turkish nationals into the EU commonly use the EU Blue Card (Germany), Spain Digital Nomad, Portugal D7, and the UK Skilled Worker route.

About travel from Türkiye

Visa requirements for Türkiye passport holders vary by destination, purpose, and policies that change without notice. We pull from official government sources where possible — embassy and ministry-of-foreign-affairs pages — and surface the date we last verified each requirement, plus a direct link to the primary source on every answer.

For each destination, you'll find tourist, business, transit, work, study, partner/family and diplomatic visa routes (where applicable). Each shows the visa type, maximum stay, typical cost, processing time, and the official application URL.

Important: a valid visa permits entry subject to officer discretion at the border. Always verify with the destination's embassy or consulate before booking travel, accepting employment, or making relocation plans — particularly for long-stay routes (work, study, family) where the consequences of incorrect information are severe.
