Uzbekistan Airways reminds passengers that, starting January 1, 2015, Turkey has implemented a key travel requirement for foreign visitors. According to Article 7.1b of the “Law on Foreigners and International Protection” (no. 6458), all foreign nationals entering Turkey must possess a travel document, such as a passport, with an expiration date extending at least 60 days beyond the “duration of stay” indicated on their visa, e-Visa, visa exemption, or residence permit. Adhering to this regulation is essential for ensuring a seamless travel experience to Turkey.

To enter Turkey with a visa that has a 90-day “duration of stay,” foreigners must hold a passport or travel document valid for at least an additional 60 days, totaling 150 days (90 days + 60 days/5 months) of validity at the time of entry.

Given the above, we remind you that for visa-free entry to the Republic of Turkey, citizens of the Republic of Uzbekistan must have a passport with a validity of at least 150 days from the date of entry into the Republic of Turkey.

Additionally, it is important to note that failure to comply with these requirements can result in denial of entry at the border. Travelers are advised to check the expiration dates of their travel documents well in advance of their planned trip to ensure they meet the necessary criteria and avoid any travel disruptions.
