Hi, I would like to take a flight from Colombo (Sri Lanka) to Czech Republic and I have a transit in Istanbul (not leaving the transit area).
Do I have to have PCR test when transiting, or is it test free when just transiting? Thank you

No Jozeph, passengers who only have transit in the Istanbul airport do not need to submit a PCR test as long as they stay in the transit area.

No Alwyn, the quarantine is applicable to the county you are flying from. You will only need to make a PCR test upon your arrival next to a HES code that you will need to apply for 24hours before your travel.

Yes Omar, as long as your passport is valid for more than the period that you're planning to stay in Turkey, then it will be okay.

We want to fly Turkish Airlines on 9 January from South Africa to Denmark with a transit in Istanbul. Is this travel allowed? and do we need PCR tests for our transit in Turkey if we are fully vaccinated?

Yes Adriana, The mandatory things that you need in order for you to enter Turkey are a PCR test that is made prior 72hours, and a HES code that you can get from the "Turkey Traveler Entry" webform 24h before landing.
