Visa-Free Country List for Turkish Citizens

What is Visa-Free Travel? How do you do it?

A trip to any country that does not require you to obtain a visa with your passport is called visa-free travel. 

You don’t need to go to the consulate, gather together your documents or pay any fee to get into these countries. You won’t need to worry, ‘What if my application is rejected?’ You just need to buy a ticket and pack your bags. 

That’s the answer to the question, ‘How do you travel visa-free?’

You can even travel without a passport!

Do you know there are some countries you can enter without a passport at all? For example, if you are a Turkish citizen, you can enter Georgia, the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus and Ukraine without a passport. Also, don’t forget that the list of countries you can visit without a passport varies according to the type of passport you have! Right now we’re not talking about countries that offer privileges to holders of green, diplomatic and service passports; we’re going to list the visa-free countries for those who are just traveling for pleasure on a normal passport.
