Hi, I am expecting to travel to Turkey, Istanbul in mid January. As the travel restriction guide stated that "until 31 December" , may I know if the fully vaccinated (2 doses) and no quarantine needed will still apply in January? Or do I have to wait for update? Thank you, appreciated it.

Dear Claudia,
The restrictions are mostly country-related, it depends on where the passenger is coming from. But overall the restrictions change with the Covid situation of the country. Until now a Covid vaccination certificate is enough to enter Turkey.

Hi. My family is going for vacation to Turkey on the 18th December 2021. Two of them are fully vaccinated in Singapore and my daughter who is 9 years old is not. Does she need to show any negative PCR or ART test?

Hi, I applied for my HES code too early, It shows that my arrival date is 4 days earlier. Can I still use that code or I need to apply for a new one?
Thanks

Dear Joane,
When it comes to the HES code needs to be valid and hold 72hours at most before landing. In your case, you can cancel that code and ask for a new one with the correct flight details and entry date.

I'm travelling from Qatar to Turkey with my family, me and my wife are vaccinated, all our children below 12 years are not vaccinated (11 , 9 and 5 years old).
Do I need to do a PCR test or antigen rapid test for my children before departure?

Dear Wassem,
Covid restrictions do not apply to children below 12years, so your children only need a HES code in order to enter Turkey.

Dear Kay,
Passengers who are fully vaccinated and hold a COVID vaccination certificate do not need to submit a PCR test in order to enter Turkey. All you need is to complete the "Turkey
