Turkey travel warning to UK tourists as Foreign Office issues guidance

People planning a trip to Turkey for their holidays this year have been hit with fresh travel warnings issued at the end of June.

"The changes to the terrorism section of each Travel Advice page reflect the fact that global terror threat is now more diverse and not limited to those inspired by Islamist ideologies. FCDO travel advice provides information to help British nationals make informed decisions about foreign travel but we cannot enforce it and it remains a decision for individuals whether they feel it is safe for them to travel to a particular country.

The FCDO says people visiting Turkey for tourism or business for up to 90 days in any 180-day period do not need a visa. But if you plan to remain in Turkey for more than 90 days, you need a longer-stay visa or should get a residence permit before the end of your 90-day stay. If you plan to work in Turkey, make sure you have the correct documentation.

"Terrorists are very likely to try to carry out attacks in Turkey. Most terrorist attacks have happened in Southeast Turkey, Ankara and Istanbul. Citizens from western countries may be targets or caught up in attacks, particularly in major cities."
