Can anyone recently arriving in Turkey confirm the entry requirements for residents & non residents. The website is very confusing 🤔. Thank you.

I agree with Gillian's post, do we still need a pcr test to get in?

From what i can see, if you are visiting/flying from the UK you need a PCR test 72hrs prior to arriving in Turkey

My problem is that I am driving down to Turkey, so if I am delayed my 72hrs may well run out :P

If youre driving to Turkey, its possibly a different scenario for you as you will enter Turkey from an EU country

I may well risk it, I suppose if I don't have one with me, I can get tested in Turkey, maybe?

Gillian I'm with you. So what comes first the 72hr form or the pcr test?
Some say take the 24hr pcr test and receive the results the day before travel.
However when filling in the form some say you require the pcr ref to be shown to complete??
Will be sitting on the fence until the 4/5th Oct (1 week before my travel) but if anyone can offer
any clear advice It would be appreciated. :angel:

Good news, if you are double jabbed, you no longer need PCR test:

“The Turkish government has removed the PCR test requirement for double vaccinated UK travellers.

Arrivals from the UK must now present just one of the following: proof of full vaccination; a negative PCR test taken 72 hours, or a negative antigen test taken 48 hours, prior to arrival; or certification of recent recovery from Covid-19.”

This is brilliant News, but unfortunately we cannot get out before Nov 8th meaning we will miss the Direct Flights from London (EJ, Jet2, TA, PGS, Tui etc etc), so will have to go via Istanbul, and domestic flight down to DLM. Done this many times before in Non Covid days, so no issue for us to wonder round the new Istanbul Airport or SG airport for a few hours, Can anyone tell me is there any other restriction, legality, paperwork needed for Brits flying internally (Thinking here of HES Code etc) ??

Thanks for any info regarding my question.
Stay Safe Everyone
