Traveling to out of EU with refugee travel document
I live in Poland with refugee status. I know that I am free to travel within Europe with my permit and travel document. What about traveling to South America?
I am originally from Turkey, and Turkey allows me to travel to Brazil without a visa. But what about where I am now? I don't have a passport from Turkey, but I have a refugee travel document issued by Poland. Can I travel to Brazil (to visit a friend for 15 days) without a visa?
Best Answer
According to Timatic, the database used by airlines to check what documents are required, you need a visa for Brazil, a refugee travel document is not enough.
You are correct that Turkish citizens can enter visa free, but you would need a passport issued by Turkey (and getting and/or using one would jeopardize your refugee status).
