I’m planning my first trip to Turkey and have started looking into the practical side of the journey. I’m mainly interested in visiting Istanbul and a few other popular places, but I’m not sure what I should arrange before booking everything. I’d like to know about travel documents, entry requirements, suitable times to visit, and anything that first-time visitors commonly overlook. I’m also wondering whether there are any online travel authorisation requirements depending on nationality. If anyone has recently travelled to Turkey, I’d appreciate advice on what you prepared beforehand and whether there were any unexpected issues during the trip.
