Is it safe to travel to Türkiye?

Not safe.

On September 29, according to the Consular Express, since January 22, 2018, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Chinese Embassy and Consulates in Turkey have repeatedly issued notices not to travel to Turkey based on the security situation in Turkey. Safety reminder for the Southeast region, the latest reminder is valid until September 30, 2019. According to the current security situation, the validity period of the security reminder is now extended to December 31, 2019.

If you have traveled to Türkiye and encounter special circumstances:

1. Ask the diplomatic department for help. You can call the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs’ consular protection hotline 12308 for help. The hotline’s primary task is emergency response and can coordinate assistance from multiple parties. ?

2. Dial overseas 110. According to statistics, since 1998, the Ministry of Public Security of China has dispatched 62 Chinese police liaison officers to 31 countries including the United States, the United Kingdom, Thailand, Afghanistan, and Pakistan. When encountering problems, just call them. ?

3. There are overseas Chinese mutual aid organizations in many places overseas, all of which build mutual aid platforms for prominent incidents encountered by Chinese tourists.

You can go to Turkey, but you must wait until the situation stabilizes, and do not go to dangerous places alone, because your parents far away are thinking about you, because if a dangerous country appears in a foreign country, it will also need to send personnel to rescue you. I hope that Türkiye will allow us to go there with confidence and boldness soon, and please remember that traveling is not an adventure!

The world is so big, so don’t take the risk and go to Turkey. Turkey is romantic, but safety is more important.
