2- At customs crossings/border posts, at least 2 blank pages in your passport are required for entry-exit stamps.
3- Being exempt from a visa and having a visa for entry into the countries in this tour does not mean that you can enter/exit the country, as the passport police have the authority to deny entry/exit; the responsibility for this situation lies with the passenger, and the Agency is not responsible.
4- Non-Turkish citizens or dual citizens participating in the tour with their other country passport must consult the relevant consulates for visa procedures applied by the country to be traveled; otherwise, the Agency will not be responsible for any resulting consequences.
5- To avoid issues with customs police at the border post of the visited country due to torn, worn, wet, or damaged passports; passports must be renewed. Otherwise, the responsibility lies with the passenger.
