Russian tourists can stay in Turkey without a visa for up to three months. However, as clarifies the Moscow office of the Ministry of Culture and Tourism of the Turkish Republic, this right can only be used once a year, RIA Novosti reports.
"If the Russians want to go to Turkey and to remain there for more than 30 days, they have the opportunity once a year to get permission to stay for a period of three months for tourism or for business negotiations. If they want to get permission to stay a maximum of three months they should contact the Department of Immigration Office of Security (Emniyet Mudurlugu Yabancílar Sube Mudurlugu) at their place of residence within 30 days from their arrival in Turkey, " the ministry said.
