Flights to Turkey from Argentina
Obviously, due to the distance that separates both countries, to travel to Turkey from Argentina it will be essential to get on a plane. And the flight options are practically all through the Ezeiza Ministro Pistarini airport in Buenos Aires. However, the arrival options are wider, with Istanbul as the main gateway for cheaper flights.
You should keep in mind that all of these options involve at least one stopover, which in turn will influence the total travel time and cost. Here is a list of the main possibilities:
- To Istanbul (to any of its two airports), with a stopover at one of these airports: Sao Paulo, Frankfurt am Main, Amsterdam or Rome Fiumicino, among others. From 1.5 million Argentine pesos and 17 hours total travel time.
- With two stopovers, to Istanbul or to other cities such as Antalya, Bodrum, Pamukkale, Izmir, Marmaris, Fethiye, Kusadasi, Trebisonda or Cappadocia. From 2 million Argentinean pesos and 21 hours of total travel time.
Those who want to travel from other cities in Argentina will have to expect an additional stopover, necessary to fly from their city to Ezeiza Ministro Pistarini Airport. In this way, the total journey time normally exceeds 23 hours. Some of the cities from which you can depart in this way are Córdoba, Rosario, Neuquén and Mendoza.
As for the airlines that charter these flights, the main ones are Turkish Airlines, Dutch KLM and German Lufthansa, but you can also look for combinations with different companies, such as ITA Airways, Pegasus and Aerolineas Argentinas, among others.
Bureaucracy for travel to Turkey from Argentina

However, as a general rule, the maximum period of stay in the country is 90 days, either consecutively or spread over the 180 days mentioned above.
In order to extend this period of stay in Turkey, it will be necessary to obtain a special permit. For more information, you can consult the consular section of the Turkish Embassy (Türkiye) in Buenos Aires, located at 11 de Septiembre 1382 (C1426BKN).
