Visa
As noted, guests have the right to stay in Turkey for up to 90 days without a visa. If your trip lasts more than 90 days, in this case, a permit is required for the visit. The rules of entry of Kazakhstanis to Turkey allow extending their stay in the country for foreigners. To do this, it is necessary to cross the border with a neighboring country for Turkey and immediately return back. If you have used a visa-free entry, you should know that the total period of stay in Turkey cannot exceed 90 days within 6 months.
Health insurance
The rules of entry of tourists to Turkey provide for the availability of medical insurance for the entire period of rest in the country. When making it, it is necessary to clarify which types of insurance claims medical care applies to. It is important to know the algorithm of actions during an insured event, so as not to find yourself in an unpleasant situation later.

Its validity period is at least 120 days from the date of departure from the territory of Turkey. If the child does not have a passport, his photo must be pasted into the passport of one of the parents.
