Not only European countries... It happens in the West as well. For instance, Most Caribbean nationals are welcomed to the US, while Haitan nationals have so many restrictions on travel that it is ridiculous. The reasons are sometimes more political than for security.
I think that restrictions on travel for Turks is especially shameful because it sends the message that they are simply not welcome in Europe. Totally disgusting...

It is a stupid thing, again. But there is a little solution: some countries do not have this visa stuff for Turkish nationals. I have to admit, a lot of them are (too) far away, and some of them I never would like to visit but some countries are really beautiful. And not all are extremely (more) expensive than other (West) European countries.

Here is the list you do not need a visa for: Andorra / Argentina / Bahamas / Bahrain / Barbados / Burkina-Faso / Burundi / Cameroon / Chad / Chile / Comoros / Costa Rica / Djibouti / Dominican Republic / Ecuador / El Salvador / Eritrea / Estonia / Gabon / Gambia / Ghana / Guatemala / Guinea / Honduras / Iceland / Indonesia / Ivory Coast / Jamaica / Japan / Croatia /Malawi / Malaysia / Mali / Malta / Monaco / Mauritania / Morocco / Myanmar / Nepal / Niger / Nigeria / Peru / Rwanda / Senegal / Sierra Leone / Singapore / Sri Lanka / Swaziland / Thailand / Togo / Tunisia / Uganda / Uruguay / Vietnam / Zaire / Zambia

Quoting Trudy:

Of course there should be freedom of travel! If I can travel around almost all the world without any problems, because most visa are just formalities (only like Iran, Saoudi Arabia etc I need lots more) why shouldn't someone from Turkey be allowed to do the same? We are talking about a visit, a holiday, not emigration!

Quoting azade:

It is really unfair that it is so hard for turkish citizens to even go on holiday in other countries. It took me and my husband four months to get a visa for going to my home country the first time.

I'm curious if any of you (Turks) have had to pay 75 ytl for the Turkish government when you go abroad? Apparently you have to do it everytime.

Quoting shel_b_ann:

Personally, I think the restrictions are rather silly.

Of course restrictions are needed, but the extent to which these restrictions are enforced I see as ridiculous... for someone to visit me only for a week we have had to go through so much paperwork and complication...

I could understand this if England was not riddled with so many illegal immigrants scrounging off of our government and giving our country absolutely nothing in return...

I don't see how one person visiting me for a week needs to analysed and complicated any more than allowing the lazy idiots into our country which we do!
My opinion- it's unfair to overcomplicate some things which do not neccessarily need to be complicated, whilst handing out homes, luxuries and money to undeserving people.

...Just my opinion!



actually shel_b_ann..illegal immigrants get no benefits in england..maybe u should do ur research..you are referring to asylum seekers and refugees..these groups receive benefits and money from england..illegal immigrants do not..
personally i dont care where someone comes from..if they want to work here they should be able to..legally as in paying tax and national insurance..maybe it would better if our own citizens worked instead of claiming benefits and moaning aboutr others 'stealing their jobs' when they are fully capable of working!of couyrse i am not refering old age pensioners or people who are incapable..just those who can but dont!

I agree here too....I don't see why they ask for much paper work to be filled, it just makes people not feel welcome and what bothers me most is that Turkey (not all turks agree with it though - nor do I) is trying to become part of Europe and yet Turks still have to go through so much trouble just visiting Europe, so if they want to become part of Europe at least let Turks visit the other damn countries.
Oof! çok sıkıntı ya!
