Turkey

On a special exemption basis, Qatar Airways continues to operate a daily flight from Istanbul to Doha that can only carry foreign nationals. This option is subject to change and cancellation at short notice. Contact the airline for details. Turkey has suspended all other international flights. Restrictions have also been placed on domestic travel to minimise movement across Turkey. If you remain in Turkey, follow the advice of local authorities and minimise your risk of exposure to COVID-19. Stay in touch with family and friends so they know you're safe and well. If you need urgent consular assistance, contact the nearest Australian mission (see Consular contacts) or call +61 2 6261 3305.

We now advise you to:

Do not travel to Turkey.
