Private Turkey Tours from the Netherlands and Scandinavia: Entry Rules

Private Turkey tours from the Netherlands and Scandinavia start without a visa: Dutch, Danish, Swedish and Norwegian citizens enter Turkey visa-free for up to 90 days. After a few hours of flight, you land in Istanbul. From there, your own guide and driver take you to Cappadocia, Ephesus and the coast. Below are the entry rules for each country, and how we plan a private trip for you.

Entering Turkey from the Netherlands

Dutch citizens with ordinary passports are exempt from a visa for up to 90 days in any 180-day period. They can also enter Turkey with a valid Dutch national ID card.

Entering Turkey from Denmark

Danish citizens with ordinary passports are exempt from a visa for travels of up to 90 days. Denmark is not on the list of countries whose citizens may enter with a national ID card, so bring your passport.

Entering Turkey from Sweden

Swedish citizens are exempt from a visa for up to 90 days within 180 days, counted from the first day of entry. Sweden is not on the national ID card list either, so you also travel with your passport.

Entering Turkey from Norway

Norwegian citizens with ordinary passports are exempt from a visa for up to 90 days in any 180-day period. Norway is not on the national ID card list, so a passport is needed here too.

For all four countries, your passport must stay valid for at least 60 days beyond your stay. Visa rules can change, so we go through them with you before you book.

A private trip, planned for you

Every trip with us is private, without a group or someone else’s timetable. In ten days, you see Istanbul, Cappadocia, Ephesus and Pamukkale, as on our classic Turkey tour in 10 days. Because Turkey is only a few hours away, a long weekend in Istanbul also works well. In summer, you can add a week on the coast or on a gulet.

A licensed guide in your language

In every region, a licensed guide in your language joins you, and a private driver takes you from place to place. By Turkish law, only licensed guides may guide, so we work only with them. We also book the hotels you choose, the domestic flights and the entrance tickets.
