Visa

NEPAL, INDIA, SRI LANKA

Ordinary Passport                    Visa required                        

Green Passport                       Visa required

Service Passport                 Visa required

 

For destinations that require a visa, it is necessary to apply for a visa with the documents listed in the “Documents Required for Visa” list that your agency will provide. In order to avoid issues with customs police at the border of the country to be visited due to torn, worn, wet, and/or similarly damaged passports, it is advisable to renew such passports, and if the country requires a visa for Turkish citizens, the relevant visa must be on the new passport. Otherwise, the responsibility belongs to the traveler. For guests under the age of 18, there is a possibility that a document showing the joint consent of both parents may be requested by the police officer at the country’s entry-exit points while traveling alone or with only one of the parents; therefore, we recommend sensitivity on this matter for guests under 18 and their parents.

Health

It is recommended for those who regularly use medication to bring more than needed, as not all kinds of medication are available in the country. Additionally, if you have a serious health issue (heart, blood pressure, diabetes, etc.), it would be beneficial to carry a signed document from your doctor. Also, it is advised not to drink tap water and to consume water from sealed bottles that you open yourself.

Optional Tours & Activities

Optional tours and activities are organized by the local agency we work with, subject to a minimum participation requirement of 20 people, and participation is not mandatory. If sufficient numbers cannot be reached, the tours may not take place or the prices, content, and vehicles used for optional tours/activities may vary according to the number of participants. Additionally, the days and times of optional tours/activities may be changed by the guide based on the open/closed status of museums, archaeological sites, or venues being visited and weather conditions.

Triple rooms can be provided depending on the availability of hotels, and the bed offered to the third person in these types of rooms may be smaller than standard beds. Triple rooms consist of 1 large bed and 1 additional bed. Since extra beds are made up of opening-closing and coach beds, the participant acknowledges the potential for tightness and bed type in reservations for the third person and/or child in the rooms. Child discounts apply to a single (1) child that meets the age group specified in the pricing section and stays with 2 adults. The breakfasts included in the tour program are served in accordance with the breakfast culture of the country visited and generally consist of a limited menu typically referred to as continental breakfast, including butter, jam, bread, tea, or coffee, and may be served in a separate hall designated for the group.

Important Notes

Having a valid passport and/or obtaining a visa (if required for the destination/passport) does not guarantee entry into the country. The passport police have the authority to deny entry to you. Papua is not responsible for this situation; the responsibility lies with the traveler. Papua acts as an intermediary between the airline and the passenger and is subject to the Hague Protocol of 28.09.1955. There may be a risk of delays in scheduled and charter flights, or flight times may change before the existing trip. Papua is obliged to notify these changes as soon as possible. Our passengers have purchased the tour knowing and accepting that flight details can change. Children aged 0-2 do not pay airport tax and airport service fees. The panoramic city tours included in the tour package are organized for the general introduction of the cities and are conducted with a guided narration from the vehicle without including entrance fees to museums and archaeological sites, lasting a maximum of 2-3 hours. In case of restrictions imposed by local authorities preventing the ability to visit or enter during the designated dates of the tours, or in case of closed roads due to any event, as well as conditions causing it to be impossible to perform the tour due to weather conditions, Papua is not responsible for the inability to conduct the aforementioned tours. Some tours may be conducted by means of public transportation or on foot where access is restricted or vehicle entry is not permitted.
