The Turkish passport has steadily increased in strength over the past years, offering greater mobility for Turkish citizens and foreign nationals who obtain Turkish citizenship. In 2025, Turkish passport holders can travel to many countries without the need for a visa, or by acquiring an e-visa or visa-on-arrival.
Visa-Free Countries for Turkish Citizens in 2025
As of April 2025, Turkish passport holders can travel visa-free to over 70 countries. Some of the top destinations include:
- Japan
- South Korea
- Brazil
- Serbia
- Morocco
- Ukraine
- Qatar
Note that visa-free access is typically for short stays (e.g. 30 to 90 days) depending on the country.
Countries Offering e-Visa or Visa-on-Arrival
In addition to visa-free countries, Turkish passport holders may also enter many countries by applying for an e-Visa or getting a visa upon arrival:
- Australia – e-Visa
- Kenya – e-Visa or visa-on-arrival
- Sri Lanka – Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA)
- Indonesia – Visa on arrival (valid for 30 days)

Benefits of Turkish Citizenship for Global Travel
Holding a Turkish passport offers more than just visa-free access. It also allows:

- Short-stay visa exemptions in Schengen area countries for diplomatic passport holders
- Visa-free travel across Latin America and parts of Asia
This makes Turkish citizenship by investment or marriage a highly attractive option for global mobility seekers.
