hello. I am a Turkish citizen. I do not have Turkish passport but I hold my Turkish ID. I also have RTD without PR. normally Turkish citizen can enter just with passport. I contacted with their embassy and they told me this.
(((( we confirm that Turkish citizens do not need a visa for short term visits (C type visa), despite the document of traveling that they hold, according to the DCM no. 858, date 29.12. 2021. )))))
So when I checked on IATA it shows I need a visa. I already booked flight tickets. I really do not which info is accurate. do you think they will ask visa at the border?
hello. I am just wondering is every info accurate or correct on IATA since I booked my flight to Albania and talked with their embassy. they say I do not need visa but it says I require to have a valid visa on IATA. I am so scared and do not know what to doYou do not need visa to Mexico with your Canadian RTD. I went there at least 10 times in the past 4 years, so book your trip and go
Also, you don’t need it for Cuba, Bermuda, and Dominican Republic - 100% confirmed as I have travelled there before with my RTD.
In addition to that, there are a few European countries in the Schengen zone that waive a visa requirement for the RTD holders - Germany is one of them. 100% confirmed. Also, Italy has recently joined this list - I have applied for the visa to Italy, but they closed my application and said I no longer need a Schengen visa if I’m a RTD holder. Those are the countries I can speak for.
But there are more - I’ve heard Slovenia, Slovakia, and Hungry are in that list too, but I would double check with their embassies just in case.
