What is a Passport? What are the types of passports in our country? What are the strongest passports?
Considered the most valid method of identity verification for trips abroad, a personal one is an official document that you must carry with you from the beginning to the end of your trip, is called a “passport”. The purpose of the passport is to show other nations that you are a legal citizen of your own country of origin. Passports, transit authorization letters and similar documents have been used for centuries to enable individuals to travel safely in foreign countries, but the adoption of the passport by all countries around the world is a development of the 19th and 20th centuries.
In this article, we will talk about what the “passport” document is for, the types of passports in Turkey and their privileges and advantages, while at the same time we will try to explain how the perception of strong passports in the world is shaped, and we will look at which countries the most powerful passports in the world belong to.
• A passport is a travel document by the government of a country that verifies the identity and nationality of its owner for the purpose of international travel to its citizens.
• If you are traveling outside your country, it is used to re-enter the country of which you are a citizen.
• A “visa” is a certificate embedded in a passport that grants the holder permission to enter a country for a certain period of time or the possibility of official permission to stay in a country.
As we have said, the concepts of passport and visa are different concepts from each other. The visa is issued by an Embassies, Consulates representing a foreign country. When entering a foreign country, a passport is usually required. However, if there is a visa waiver agreement between the two countries, you do not need to obtain a visa when traveling to that country.
We told you what a passport document is, what it is for. As in many countries, there are different types of passports in our country. So, what are the types of passports in Turkey, what privileges and advantages do they have, in what cases do they differ from each other? Let's take a look together.
There are 4 types of passports in Turkey. These types of passports are as follows:
• Bordeaux Passport (Public Passport)
• Green Passport (Private Passport)
• Gray Passport (Assignment/Service Passport)
• Black Passport (Diplomatic Passport)
In Turkey, people in various levels of government service can be issued passports of different colors, green, gray or black, depending on their rank. A burgundy passport, on the other hand, is a type of passport of a standard nature that is issued to our citizens who are not public employees, who do not hold any state duties. Of all these types of passports, the passport with the least circulating power throughout the world is the burgundy passport. Any person who is a citizen of the Republic of Turkey and does not have any legal obstacles to travel abroad is entitled to receive this passport.
A green passport is a variant of a passport issued to officials of the state, athletes. In some cases, it is also given to business people with certain characteristics. Families of citizens who hold a green passport can also benefit from some of the benefits and privileges that this passport provides. Former deputies who have completed their term of office, retired former mayors of the first degree, certain business people, heads of metropolitan districts and provinces, civil servants of the 1st 2nd and 3rd degrees, public servants who correspond to these degrees and who do not have staff can benefit from the right and benefits to receive this passport. Its advantage is that the power of circulation around the world is much higher than in a burgundy passport. That is, citizens with such passports and their families have the right to travel without a visa to many places that require a visa for a burgundy passport.
A gray passport or duty/service passport is a type of passport issued to citizens who are going to serve abroad. Those who will serve in international organizations, of which Turkey is less, private administration, municipalities or citizens sent abroad by the government, people assigned abroad by the Turkish Red Crescent Society and the Turkish Air Agency are entitled to receive this passport. Family members of holders of such passports can also receive this passport. But the most important and important point to note about the gray passport is that tourist travel with this passport is prohibited. The gray passport, or otherwise the duty/service passport, is only valid during the term of office, and planning a tourist trip abroad with this passport can make it difficult for both the person and the person sending it to the private administration or state level. Nevertheless, the burgundy passport seems to be an advantageous passport in that it allows visa-free entry to many countries, even for duty, as it facilitates travel.
A black passport, or otherwise known as a diplomatic passport, is a type of passport issued to senior diplomats, employees, and soldiers present in the country. A very small number of citizens in the country compared to the number of people who are entitled to other passports can have this passport. So much so that having this passport can also be described as an indicator of diplomatic status. The black passport allows visa-free travel to many more countries than other types of passports, and the families of people with this passport can also benefit from these benefits. At the same time, there are no tuition fees. Diplomatic passports are issued to people who hold senior positions, such as members of parliament, ministers, top military officers, undersecretaries of ministries, ministers and deputy prime ministers, diplomats sent abroad on special duty to contact other countries, governors, president and members of the constitutional court.
