Turkey Visa-free Travel 2023 Update
Over the past number of years, Turkey and the European Union have been holding talks which may in the future culminate in Turkey joining the EU and the Schengen Area. This would grant Turkish passport holders visa-free access to a host of new countries within Europe and beyond. Earlier this year, Turkey announced it would grant visa-free entry to citizens of six European nations, including Austria, Belgium, the Netherlands, Spain, Poland and Great Britain. No doubt, the Turkish government is thus boosting the tourism industry while also hoping that European partners may reciprocate.
