Countries Turkish citizens and naturalised Turks can visit without a visa
Since the law on acquiring Turkish citizenship through property investment was amended in late 2018, everyone has been asking about the strength and the advantages of the Turkish passport
and about which countries a Turkish passport opens without a visa. The Turkish passport currently ranks 53rd on the passport ranking index, giving its holders visa-free travel to 111 destinations around the world, a reflection of Türkiye's diplomatic relations and its activity abroad, which leaves it with a middling degree of mobility overall. Holders of Turkish passports can also travel to many countries and obtain a visa on arrival
This passport allows immediate travel to many countries around the world, but Turkish passport holders still need a visa arranged in advance for around 118 countries, including China, every European Union member state and India
The Turkish government has recently made changes to the law on granting citizenship to foreigners, which is available through a number of channels: property investment, marriage to a Turkish national, or Ottoman ancestry. Türkiye holds a special and well-regarded position in the region and in the world, and it is counted among the G20 economies.
Here is a list of the Arab and European countries a Turkish passport can enter without a visa; these are some of them:
Argentina, Azerbaijan Qatar Brazil Chile Colombia Ecuador Georgia Hong Kong Indonesia Iran Jordan Kazakhstan Kuwait Lebanon Libya Morocco Malaysia Nigeria Oman Palestine Panama Peru The Philippines Senegal Serbia Singapore South Korea South Africa Thailand Tunisia Venezuela _ Bahrain Canada Greece _ Iraq _ Yemen _ The United Kingdom
.
In special cases, some European countries make it easier for Turkish passport holders to obtain a visa, among them: Germany and Britain. Germany is home to the largest Turkish community abroad, some 4 million people, and Britain has free trade agreements with Türkiye following its departure from the European Union
The Turkish passport's place among the passports of other countries is also worked out by counting the total number of countries that admit Turkish passport holders without a visa (that is, the countries Turkish nationals enter visa-free)
and the countries where the visa is issued on entry (an electronic visa)..
Some European countries also admit Turkish nationals without a visa, among them Macedonia, Ukraine, Kosovo, Albania, Serbia, Northern Cyprus and Bosnia and Herzegovina
