Updated restrictions for international arrivals

22 Apr 2021 / Turkey

All passengers arriving in Turkey through third countries who visited Brazil, South Africa or India within the last 10 days will be quarantined for 14 days following their arrival.

At the end of the 14th day, they will be subjected to a PCR test. If the test result is negative, quarantine will be lifted. Passengers aged 6 years and above under these conditions, must submit a negative Sars-Cov-2 PCR test result done within 0-72 hours prior to departure, before boarding.

GAC Turkey is seeking clarification on whether seamen are exempt from this restriction. Indications are, subject for formal confirmation, that seamen will be exempt.

Brazil, South Africa and India have been added to the list of countries considered to be risky by Turkey. Meanwhile, the United Kingdom and Denmark have been removed from that list.
