Turkey travel warning issued from UK Foreign Office

The UK Foreign Office has updated its travel advice for Turkey.

FCDO travel advice aims to inform British nationals so they can make decisions about travelling abroad. The department advises on coronavirus, terrorism, safety and security, local laws and customs, entry requirements, health, natural disasters and money.

British nationals made over 3.330 million visits to Turkey in 2022. Most visits are trouble-free.

However, the FCDO has issued advice for any Britons travelling to the Eastern provinces of Turkey.

They advise against all but essential travel to the province of Hakkari. If you’re undertaking essential travel to this province, you should take extreme care.

Mount Ararat, in Ağrı province, is a special military zone, and access permission must be obtained from the Doğubayazıt Government Office, along with payment of a fee in the local Governor’s Office. If you are visiting with a travel agent/tour group, you should confirm with them whether you would require an individual permit.

The FCDO asks people to take extra care if you’re travelling to this area; keep up to date with local media and follow the advice of the local authorities.
