Before you fly
Visa
On a British citizen passport you can visit Turkey without a visa for up to 90 days in any 180 day period, for tourism or business.
Passport
Your passport must be valid for at least 150 days after the day you arrive, with at least 1 blank page.
Day trips to the Greek islands
The FCDO says Greece is in the Schengen area and uses the EU’s Entry/Exit System, so be prepared to wait longer than usual at the border. Read the FCDO travel advice for Greece before you go.
Travel advice
Read the FCDO travel advice for Turkey before you book. The FCDO advises against all travel within 10km of the border with Syria, and your travel insurance could be invalidated if you travel against its advice.
Regional tensions
The FCDO says the situation in the Middle East remains unpredictable. Since 8 July 2026, Iran has carried out strikes and retaliatory attacks in a number of places across the region, against US military and civilian infrastructure, and there is a risk of more attacks and unforeseen escalation. Before the ceasefire, Iran said it would target places linked to the US and Israel, including businesses and institutions. British nationals in the region should be prepared for possible flight cancellations, periodic airspace closures and potential travel disruption. The FCDO’s warnings for Turkey have the full notice.
Terrorism and wildfires
The FCDO says terrorists are likely to try to carry out attacks in Turkey, and that no travel can be guaranteed safe. It also says there is a high risk of wildfires in the summer season, from April to October. The advice changes, so read it again before you fly.
