SmartTravel AISchengen countries and the Schengen visa for Turkish citizens
According to the European Commission, the Schengen area is made up of 29 countries: 25 EU Member States plus non-EU Iceland, Norway, Switzerland and Liechtenstein. Bulgaria and Romania joined on 1 January 2025. Cyprus participates in Schengen cooperation but internal border controls have not yet been lifted; Ireland does not apply the Schengen rules.
Turkish citizens with an ordinary passport need a Schengen visa. It covers short visits of up to 90 days in any 180-day period. Apply to the consulate of the country where you will stay longest; for equal stays, the first country you enter.
