NEW YORK — Türkiye has granted visa exemptions to citizens of Canada and the U.S.

Citizens of the two countries with regular passports will not be required to obtain a visa for stays of up to 90 days every 180 days when travelling to Türkiye for tourism purposes.

Istanbul was included in Travel + Leisure’s ‘The 50 Best Places to Travel in 2024’ list. Beyond İstanbul, coastal Aegean charms like İzmir and Bodrum invite visitors to savour the good life. Antalya on the Turkish Riviera is a year-round destination, especially ideal for solo and family trips on the Mediterranean coast. And Cappadocia is world famous for its unique formations of fairy chimneys, underground cities, rock-carved houses, churches, and monasteries, hot air balloon rides and cave hotels.

Plus, Türkiye has recently added two new sites to the UNESCO list.
