Change in Turkey's Tourist Visa Policy

With the enactment of the Amendment on the Law Concerning the Travel and Residence of Non-Nationals in Turkey No. 5683, foreigners visiting Turkey on a touristic visa will be granted a maximum duration of 90 days for a period of six months starting from 01 February 2012. While Turkish government aims to target the unregistered employment by foreigners with this new policy, it is highly recommended to the frequent business visitors from the Netherlands to pay attention to their visa exemption periods (For further information, please see http://istanbul.nlconsulaat.org/consulaat-generaal/afdelingen/consulaire-zaken/regelgeving-turks-visum-voor-nederlanders.html) .
