Visas

Visas for U.S. Citizens:

U.S. citizens do not need a visa to visit Israel, Jordan, or Egypt. U.S. Citizens do need a visa to enter Turkiye (see below). Visa requirements for other destinations will be provided as applicable.

Visas for All Other Citizens:

If you are not a US citizen, our office is not responsible for providing any necessary travel or entry documents, such as visas. You are responsible for checking with the consulate for each country you visit and obtaining any necessary documents to enter those countries.

Türkiye

Türkiye now requires everyone to purchase their entry visa online before arriving in Türkiye. Guests can no longer purchase their entry visa at the Airport.

If your flight departs from or arrives in Türkiye, you will need to purchase a Visa before traveling. All Türkiye land tours, including Holy Land via Türkiye, Journeys of Paul in Türkiye, or any pre and post-tours with overnight stays in Türkiye, will require you to purchase a Visa before traveling. If you are on a cruise that includes day stops in Türkiye, i.e. ports of Ephesus or Istanbul, but does not begin or end in Türkiye, you will not need a Turkish Visa. Turkish Visas may be purchased no sooner than 90 days from your departure.

Guests traveling to Türkiye will need to visit https://www.evisa.gov.tr/en/ to apply for their visas, and they will submit the $50 USD fee online. Currently, the website only accepts Visa & MasterCard. Visas may be purchased no sooner than 90 days before your departure.
