Madagascar to Turkey: What You Need to Know
Turkey operates an e-Visa system that has been extended to a growing list of nationalities. Madagascar's inclusion should be verified on the official Turkish e-Visa portal as this list is subject to change. If not eligible for e-Visa, Malagasy passport holders apply at the Turkish embassy.
How to Get There
Turkish Airlines operates direct or connecting flights from Antananarivo to Istanbul, making Turkey one of the most accessible non-African destinations for Malagasy travelers. Istanbul is a popular transit and tourist destination.
Money & Banking
Turkey uses the Turkish lira (TRY). Cards are widely accepted in Istanbul and major tourist areas. Cash is useful for bazaars and smaller establishments. ATMs are available throughout Turkey. USD and EUR are sometimes accepted at tourist sites.
