Supplemental Info:
Tensions with the government of Turkey are rapidly increasing. Following the U.S. cessation of non-immigrant visa services to Turkish citizens earlier today, the government of Turkey has responded in kind, halting the issuance of new visas for American citizens.
AlertsUSA subscribers with established travel plans for Turkey, regardless of mode of travel, should be in touch with their carrier, cruise operator or travel coordinator for the latest information. While the Turkish embassy says existing visas will be honored, caution is urged as this stance could change in an instant, as well as on a case by case basis.
On September 28th AlertsUSA subscribers were notified of a new USGOV travel warning for Turkey due to the persistent threat of terrorism and anti-America sentiment. If you, a family member or colleague have travel plans for Turkey, it is extremely important that the traveler be familiar with the detail of the latest travel guidance.
