According to their average annual export figures of USD 1 million to USD 10 million, a representative of their company will be able to claim a passport previously reserved for officials with a certain length of service. Companies with an average annual export figure between USD 10 million and USD 25 million will receive passports for two representatives, and so on up to USD 100 million, which would entitle them to five passports.

The sector applauds this measure, as many Turkish exporters have had problems in obtaining visas, with formalities preventing them from participating in international fairs.

Obtaining this passport is subject to other conditions. The Ministry of Internal Affairs and Economy will be responsible for managing these passports.

Many countries, including the Schengen countries and China, will therefore be accessible without a visa. But still not the United Kingdom and the United States.
