I am traveling from Chicago O'Hare on Turkish Airlines to Istanbul Turkey. I have a layover in Istanbul for 5 hrs, then board Turkish Airlines and travel to Rome Italy.

I have a current US Passport. Is there a need for a visa in either Turkey or Italy?



Best Answer

In order to enter Turkey for touristic purposes as a US citizen, you need a visa which can be bought upon arrival. It costs $20:

American citizens traveling to Turkey on U.S. passports must obtain a visa. Currently, holders of all types of passports can purchase a 90-day sticker visa at the port of entry for $20 cash if they are traveling to Turkey as tourists.

As long as you do not exit the international terminal at the airport, you do not need a visa.

To travel to Italy, you do not need a visa. You can stay upto 90 days in Italy (Entire Schengen Zone) for touristic purposes as a US citizen.

U.S. citizens may enter Italy for up to 90 days for tourist or business purposes without a visa. All non-residents are required to complete a declaration of presence (dichiarazione di presenza).
