*TURKEY : Capital: ANKARA - NO PHASE
PHASE I: is in effect in for the southeastern provinces of Diyarbakir, Hakkari, Sirnak, Van, Tunceli, Siirt, Batman, Bitlis, Bingol, Mardin and Mus.
Travel to the south-east is restricted unless organized through government permission. Special escorts could be arranged for mission visits to these areas. Visas for nationals of EU member countries are available upon entry. Entry with UN LP is recommended only if it already contains a valid visa. Few officials at airports are familiar with LPs and they usually refuse LPs without visas because they cannot see the nationality, a required entry in their database. It is therefore strongly recommended to check with the local Turkish Embassy/consulate before traveling. When in Ankara, visitors are advised to visit the Designated Official to discuss their travel plan and contact the UN agency focal points/FSA for security briefing/debriefing.
Request for security clearance must be sent at least one week prior to arrival. Requests should be sent to the FSCA: Mr. Hasan Alsancak (email: hasan.alsancak@un.org.tr).
