Approved list of vaccines in Turkey

Can I travel to Turkey without a COVID vaccine?
Yes, international travelers do not need COVID-19 vaccines to enter Turkey. Alternatives to a vaccination certificate include the following:

Negative PCR test was taken within 72 hours before arriving
Negative antigen test was taken within 48 hours before arriving
Recovery certificate from the past 6 months
Passengers arriving from most places must either have one of these documents or a vaccination certificate showing that they were fully vaccinated at least 14 days before arriving in Turkey.

Which COVID vaccine is accepted in Turkey?
Currently, Turkey accepts all vaccines when it comes to international travelers.

There is no requirement for travelers to have any specific type of COVID-19 vaccination. The rules simply state that individuals who were fully vaccinated 14 days or more before arriving in Turkey may enter.

Turkey approved vaccines
There are 3 vaccines approved for use in Turkey. These are the types of COVID-19 vaccines administered in the country itself.

Turkey’s approved vaccines are as follows:

Pfizer/BioNTech
Sputnik V
Sinovac
 Can tourists get a COVID vaccine in Turkey?
Visitors to Turkey are unlikely to be able to get vaccinated during their stay in the country.

Arranging a vaccination appointment is done through the Turkish health system’s e-nabiz and e-devlet platforms. When arriving at the appointment, a Turkish ID card must be shown along with the appointment number.

While Turkish nationals and residents of the country will be able to book and attend an appointment in this way, foreign tourists will not. This makes it difficult to get a COVID vaccine in Turkey for tourists.

If it is essential that you receive a vaccine while visiting Turkey, contact the Ministry of Health.
