How strong is the Turkish passport?
The Turkish passport offers visa-free or visa-on-arrival access to roughly 110+ destinations as of 2026 — respectable, but with notable gaps. Its popularity as a citizenship-by-investment passport comes less from raw visa-free count than from cost and the US E-2 treaty.
Where you can travel visa-free
Visa-free or on-arrival across much of Asia, the Balkans, Latin America and Africa — including Japan and Singapore.
The gaps
The big three all require a visa: the Schengen area, the United Kingdom and the United States. That's the main limitation.
