Romanians Can Now Travel to Turkey with Just an ID Card

In a significant move to boost tourism and facilitate travel between the two nations, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has signed a decree allowing Romanian citizens to enter Turkey using only their national ID cards. This decision comes as a result of fruitful negotiations between the Turkish and Romanian governments.


Official Publication and Key Provisions of the Decree

The decree, signed by President Erdogan, was published in the Turkish Official Gazette coinciding with the visit of Romanian Prime Minister Marcel Ciolacu to Ankara. According to the document, Romanian citizens holding an identity card will no longer require a visa for tourist or transit purposes when traveling to Turkey. This visa-free regime applies for stays of up to 90 days within a six-month period.


Prior Visa Requirements

Previously, Romanian citizens were required to possess a passport valid for at least 150 days from the date of entry into Turkey. This new decree eliminates this visa requirement, streamlining the travel process for Romanian nationals.


Prime Minister Ciolacu's Official Visit and Potential Further Agreements

Prime Minister Marcel Ciolacu arrived in the Turkish capital yesterday for an official visit. According to media reports,additional agreements between Turkey and Romania are expected to be signed during this visit.



Impact on Tourism and People-to-People Ties

The elimination of visa requirements for Romanian citizens is anticipated to have a positive impact on tourism between the two countries. It is expected to encourage more Romanians to visit Turkey, boosting the Turkish tourism sector and fostering stronger people-to-people ties between the two nations.
