EU: Turkish travelers exempt from new European travel system
Turkish
citizens will not need to apply for the new European Travel Information and
Authorization System (ETIAS), the EU’s official representation in Türkiye
confirmed on Monday.
"Since
Türkiye is not a visa-exempt country, Turkish nationals do not fall within the
scope of ETIAS," the EU Delegation to Türkiye said in a statement
clarifying the new travel requirements.
The
announcement addressed widespread disinformation about Turkish diplomatic and
service passport holders needing to pay €7 ($7.28) for authorization under the
new system.
Turkish
diplomatic, service, and special passport holders, who already enjoy visa-free
travel to the Schengen area, will continue to travel without requiring ETIAS
authorization, the delegation confirmed.
ETIAS
requires nationals from visa-exempt countries to obtain electronic travel
authorization before entering the Schengen area or the Greek Cypriot
Administration for short stays of up to 90 days within a 180-day period.
