Question about TR visa: i applied last week and in the midst of that there is a new rule 56 countries are visa exempt and im from one of these countries. Should i wait for visa approval (my passport is with the consular) or should i just apply for COE even before the visa is approve and my passport returned? Thanks! #visahelp #touristvisa
TLDR : Answer Summary
A user inquired about the implications of a new rule granting visa exemptions to 56 countries while they await approval for their TR visa. They asked whether to wait for the visa approval and passport return or to apply for a Certificate of Entry (COE) in the meantime. Responses clarified the differences between visa stays and visa-exempt stays, suggested that one could start the COE application process without the visa, and shared concerns about document timing due to travel deadlines.
