Turkish ordinary passport holders require an advance Gambian visa
Current Turkish MFA country guidance requires a Gambian visa for ordinary Turkish passport holders, while The Gambia's current government guidance requires advance mission issuance and lists an embassy in Ankara.
- Ordinary (umuma mahsus) Turkish passport, short visit.
- Turkish MFA's live country table requires a visa. The Gambia's current government guidance requires visa-subject visitors to use a Gambian diplomatic mission in their country of origin and lists its current embassy in Ankara.
- A Turkish Embassy notice dated 5 August 2020 independently directs non-diplomatic Turkish citizens to that Ankara mission. It is supporting route history rather than the currentness anchor.
- The generic airport exception applies only where no Gambian diplomatic representative exists and therefore does not replace the Ankara advance route.
- The diplomatic 90-day exemption and special/service documents are outside this ordinary-passport policy.
