● Guests traveling with a Turkish green passport must renew their passports if the date of issue is older than 10 years; otherwise, they may be denied entry into the destination country or their flights by the airline may not be carried out from Turkey. In such a case, the responsibility lies with the passenger, and BTB TOURS cannot be held responsible in any way.
● For passports that are torn, worn, wet, and/or damaged, it is necessary to renew them to avoid issues with customs police at the border of the visited country. If the destination country requires a visa for Turkish citizens, the relevant visa must also be on the new passport. Otherwise, the responsibility lies with the passenger.
● The validity of the guest's passport must be a minimum of 6 months as of the return flight date. Otherwise, if there is an obstacle, the responsibility lies with the guests.
● BTB TOURS acts as an intermediary between the passenger and the embassy. The embassy has the right to deny a visa if deemed necessary, and BTB TOURS is not responsible for the passenger's inability to obtain a visa. BTB TOURS only undertakes the role of an intermediary. In personal visa applications, BTB TOURS has no authority or responsibility. Consumers have accepted these terms by registering for the tour.

● For passengers who will apply for their own visas, the procurement of necessary documents (hotel confirmations, flight tickets, etc.) typically takes 1 business day. Guests must consider this period when arranging their appointment dates and times. Otherwise, BTB TOURS is not responsible for any potential disruptions.
● If the guest cancels their reservation and/or does not participate in the relevant tour, the visa fee and service fee will not be refunded. If the guest obtained their visa and visa service through BTB TOUR's Visa department and this visa service was indicated as an additional service in the travel contract, if BTB TOURS cancels the related tour due to insufficient participation or any other reason, the guest can obtain a refund of the amount remaining excluding the consulate fees and similar fees upon presenting their unused visa within a week of its expiration date. If the guest has obtained their visa independently and/or with the assistance of another visa intermediary company, and BTB TOURS cancels the related tour due to insufficient participation or for another reason, no refunds will be made to the guest.
● Changes may occur in the routes depending on the city where the plane will land.
