Test If you make a travel plan to a different country, we recommend that you check the entry admission rules of the relevant country for a safe and trouble-free flight. Learning about the COVID-19 requirements of the country of arrival, such as vaccination and PCR testing, will prevent any inconvenience during the travel.
PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) tests show the presence of the COVID-19 virus in the subject's body and how he/she responds to the infection. According to the national regulations of the countries, you should be aware that it is mandatory to have a PCR test to enter the country you travel to. We would like to point out that having a PCR test prevents being subjected to some measures such as quarantine applied in the country. Therefore, we recommend that you check the applicable practices for the country you travel to be able to enter this country.
You can have a PCR test at health institutions authorized by the Ministry of Health. The list of authorized organizations is available on the COVID-19 Diagnostic Institutions Authorized by the Ministry of Health page.
You can apply to the COVID-19 Diagnostic Institutions Authorized by the Ministry of Health by presenting your documents (tickets, invitations, education certificates, petitions, etc.) that certify your departure abroad. At the time of application, you only need to transfer the test fee to the designated account and submit the transaction document.
The results are given as a printed report in the center where you have the PCR test. You can also view your test result in Turkish and English and print out your result in both languages by e-mail or by entering the last 4 digits of your passport number and the barcode number on the e-nabiz system.
Passengers entering Turkey (12 years and older) must submit a negative PCR test certificate issued 72 hours before the flight (maximum 72 hours between the time of sample delivery and the scheduled departure time of the flight). Digital copies of the test results are accepted, the passenger can submit the test result digitally on their phone. There is no restriction on the language and it may be in Turkish or other languages.
Passengers with positive test results or contact status have the right to change their tickets free of charge.
