Hello everyone!
As I promised you during this week we're gonna tell you all about the new updates that you
need to know before coming to Turkey because yes some other things have changed and there
are new requirements in order to enter Turkey as a tourist and as a special guest I have
someone very very special and that is Fatih Yayla.
Hello!
We have him here so if you haven't subscribed to his channel, please make sure to visit
his channel Fatih Yayla, he has great great videos on Istanbul as well with amazing tips.
So we will start right now with the first requirement that most of you will need and
he will tell you about it.
All right, the first thing you need a visa to come to Turkey but you should check if
your country needs a visa to come here.
Yeah, and if you have a doubt about what nationalities require a visa you can go check one video
that we have already done about that topic we will be leaving the link in the description
box so after the visa requirements you need the PCR test you need to have the PCR test
at least 72 hours before you arrive so don't forget about that these are the most important
things and the rest Bery will tell you more.
The last requirement that you will need is that yesterday it was announced this new form,
this form you need to fill it online and this is a must and once you do it also it will
follow the same hours as the PCR test you must fill it in 72 hours before you travel
to Turkey and the best thing is that you don't have to do the HES code thing once you're
in Turkey once you fill in that form automatically the HES code will be processed so basically
you don't have to worry about that you will have everything done.
Now we're gonna show you how you can fill in this form it's very easy and it won't take
you more than five minutes.
You can choose many languages to do this form like Spanish, English, Turkish, and a few others.
Here in the first part we need to fill in the form with our personal information such
as name, surname, gender, passport number, your flight number, and also you can put the
phone number that you already have in your own country, you don't need to have a Turkish
phone number you can use the one you already have.
For the second part you need to add the address where you will be staying here in Turkey.
So for example let's imagine that you will be traveling to different cities within Turkey
in that way you can add the ones that you will be staying at either the hotel, airbnb,
or even with a family, with a relative or somebody else you will just only click in
add address and you will be adding the ones that you already have confirmed.
And for the last step, as well you need to select those countries that you have visited
for the past 10 days before your arrival to Turkey.
Then you will be given automatically the HES code, you will click download and you will
have it with you on your phone or in your email.
Actually if you want to link your HES code to your Istanbulkart, I made a detailed video
about that, you can just watch that video we're gonna leave i the button somewhere here
so you can check and you can also check it find it in the description you so you can
see how to link your HES code to your Istanbulkart, it's easy.
Also one important thing about the IstanbulKart and the HES code is that previously before
the pandemic you were able to use the Istanbulkart for up to six people but right now since you
will need the HES code and you will need to link it you will need one IstanbulKart per
person.
Yeah, because like HES code is really important when you have the application downloaded to
your phone you can easily like turn it on turn your bluetooth on and you can see if
there is someone risky around it will warn you if you want to go to a restaurant or cafe
or in a shopping mall you need that HES code they are going to ask you at the entrance
so you need to prove your house code and show it to the person who is asking for it.
Guys, thank you so much for watching this video and you already know that if you want
to come to Turkey you need to keep in mind all these new requirements this is very important
to fill them in because later on if you go to the airport and you don't have this form
yet they will not let you board the plane so this is very important and I am so glad
that we were able to do this video with Fatih which is great I mean we have been doing some
videos before together and just stay tuned for the new upcoming videos.
Stay tuned!
