The following decisions regarding entry into [Turkey] have been taken as of June 1, 2021, in order to establish a unity of practice in entry to our country from all border gates (land, air, sea)…
…People coming from Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Brazil, South Africa, India, Nepal, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and those who are understood to have been in these countries in the last 14 days will be requested to submit a PCR test report with a negative result maximum 72 hours before entering our country, and these people will be quarantined for 14 days in places to be determined by the Governorships. If the PCR test result at the end of the 14th day of the quarantine is negative, the quarantine measure will be terminated. Those with a positive PCR test result will be isolated from the date the test result is positive, and the measure will be terminated with a negative result from the PCR test at the end of the 14th day.
Persons arriving from the UK, Iran, Egypt and Singapore will be requested to submit a PCR test report with negative result maximum 72 hours prior to entry.
Those who submit a document issued by the official authorities of the relevant country stating that they have been vaccinated at least 14 days before entering our country and/or have had the disease within the last 6 months, at all border gates (land, air, sea) from other countries except those listed, will not be requested to submit a PCR test result with negative result, and quarantine measures will not be applied for these people.
In the event that the vaccination certificate or the documents proving that they have had the disease cannot be submitted when entering our country from these countries, the PCR test report with negative result maximum 72 hours before the entry or the submission of the negative rapid antigen test result within a maximum of 48 hours from the entry will be deemed sufficient.
Except for those coming from the countries listed, people can be subjected to PCR test at their destination by the Ministry of Health on the basis of sampling in the entries into our country from all our border gates.
In this context, the incoming people will be allowed to go to their final destination after the test samples are taken, and if the test results are positive, they will be treated in line with the COVID-19 guide of the Ministry of Health.
People with close contact with people with positive test results will be quarantined for 14 days at the addresses they have determined, and quarantine conditions will be terminated if the PCR test results to be performed at the end of the 10th day are negative. The quarantine conditions of those who are found to be carrying the Indian mutant will be terminated with a negative PCR test result at the end of the 14th day.
In order not to adversely affect foreign trade, aircraft-ship crews, seafarers and truck drivers qualified as key personnel will be exempted from the SARSCoV2 PCR test and quarantine application…
