ANKARA – The government of Turkey has ended its visa-free liberty available to citizens from Tajikistan as part of a fresh directive.
A decree has been issued in this regard by Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s regime under which the regular passport holders of Tajikistan are no longer allowed visa-free entry to the country.
“It was decided to cancel the visa-free regime for citizens of Tajikistan holding ordinary foreign passports when traveling to Türkiye,” the document reads.
It bears mentioning that the citizens of Tajikistan were allowed entry to Turkey for a period lasting three months; however, such a liberty stands canceled now.
