Turkey entry requirements

General testing and vaccination requirements

In light of COVID-19, filling out the Travel Health Certificate (THC) form within 72 hours prior to entry to Turkey has become a mandatory health requirement.

A negative COVID-19 test is no longer a requirement to enter the region for all travellers, regardless of their vaccination status. Moreover, as announced, citizens’ vaccination status is not required to travel outside the Kingdom either.
