Under the present travel rules, Turkey does not require travelers to take a COVID vaccine.

However, passengers heading to Turkey must be able to show that they are safe to travel.

Being fully vaccinated is one acceptable way to do this. Alternatives include taking a COVID-19 test shortly before traveling or providing proof of recovery.

Those who choose the vaccination option must meet the following criteria:

• Fully vaccinated against COVID-19
• Received the final at least 14 days before arrival in Turkey
• Bring a certificate to prove their COVID-19 vaccination status

Currently, Turkey accepts all vaccines when it comes to international travelers.

Alternatives to a vaccination certificate include the following:

• Negative PCR test taken within 72 hours before arriving
• Negative antigen test taken within 48 hours before arriving
• Recovery certificate from the past 6 months

Passengers arriving from most places must either have one of these documents or a vaccination certificate showing that they were fully vaccinated at least 14 days before arriving in Turkey.

All visitors must also submit a Travel Health Certificate. The Entrance Form for Turkey can be completed online by clicking the button below or when applying for an eVisa.
