I booked a flight departing Dulles International Airport for Istanbul, then Antalya, departing 10 June. The next day I got an e-mail from Turkish Airlines saying my flight was canceled. Turkish Airlines re-booked my flight over the phone, for the earliest flight from Dulles International Airport to Istanbul, then to Antalya, departing on June 22nd. While the initial e-mails I received for the first booking gave me a link to get an HES Code (a code for Covid-19 tracing of travelers), the lady I spoke to while rescheduling said I wasn't required to get one. If you have to call Turkish Airli -
With tourism starting back up in June, I'm trying (with little success) to find answers to these questions. Was wondering if you could help. We are from the US, and I'm having a hard time finding out if we will even be allowed to fly there end of June/July... does anyone know if people from the US are allowed to come as tourists? Does anyone know if there are travel restrictions for tourists on bus travel between cities/provinces? Like would we need permission to travel from one province to another? If we need to book a domestic flight (ie Istanbul-Antalya) will we need to have

As you may know, domestic flights in Turkey will begin again on June 4th. International flights will begin again on June 10th. Before you can buy a ticket for a domestic flight, you must first obtain a "Hayat Eve Sığar" (HES) code. You can get one through Turkey's e-government portal at https://turkiye.gov/ or, if you're not a member, you can download the application from your mobile phone app store. For more information, see this article on the Turkish Airlines site: https://www.turkishairlines.com/en-us/announcements/coronavirus-outbreak/hes-code/ I didn't find the articl

Me and my wife fully have our ikamets (residence permits) and are now settled in Ankara, thank you to both Martin for the amazing docs you have set up and also thank you to Ken for running this forum with the helpful guides as well! (I'll discuss me and my wife's ikamet fun on another post) So, I have two friends that are out of Turkey (They both have ikamets and own an apartment here). They plan to fly back to Turkey as soon as possible, which I believe its June 4th but I hear it got pushed a week further? The general question is, will they be allowed on a flight to Istanbul from th -

The Turkish Ministry of Health have confirmed that passengers without Turkish residency permits will not be permitted to enter Turkey within 14 days of a visit to China, South Korea, Iran, Iraq or Italy. If a passenger has a residency permit, they may be allowed to enter Turkey but they will be tested on arrival for COVID-19. A positive test will lead to the passenger going straight to the quarantine facility. A negative test will lead to mobility restrictions – either self-isolation or full quarantine for 14 days. You should carry additional supplies of necessary medication in carry-on luggag

Hi, I'm in a bit of a quandary. I'm registered from Istanbul but have been staying near Milas and have now decided to stay here permanently so I have to change address. The 157 helpline said I have to go to göç idaresı (immigration office) in Muğla but being over 65 I can't leave the house because of the Covid-19 restrictions. I rang the Muğla office but couldn't find an English speaker and my Tarzan Turkish doesn't go too far. As far as I could gather I shouldn't do anything about it but surely this will breach the 20 day rule particularly as I've informed the 157 helpline of my situation. An- 6 replies

My heart goes out to all those tourists stranded in Turkey at the moment. They must be feeling very vulnerable. Being stuck in a foreign country, not understanding the language and trying to find suitable accommodation without being ripped off is bound to be difficult. This is where this forum can help people. There are many helpful people on this forum who are living in Turkey in various locations around the country. I am sure that if you are reading this and are stranded or worried sick about what to do then why not post a request here for advice or confirmation on something that you are not
