Visa Procedures in Turkey: real experience from chats

From real experience

riskWhen flying to Brazil with Turkish Airlines, non-Brazilian citizens might face strict scrutiny and potential boarding denial.
To mitigate risk, have a confirmed round-trip itinerary (ideally single booking), confirmed hotel bookings (even refundable ones), and be prepared to show proof of funds. It's advised not to display Portuguese language skills to Turkish Airlines staff, as this might lead to increased scrutiny.

ruleWhen flying from Istanbul to Brazil with a layover in Amsterdam, a visa is generally not required if the passenger remains within the international transit zone of the airport.
However, if baggage needs to be collected and re-checked due to ticket conditions, this may necessitate passing through immigration and thus require a visa, depending on the traveler's nationality and transit country regulations.

how-toIf you are applying for a visa and your itinerary includes a layover in a third country (e.g., Ankara on your way from Bulgaria to Moscow), you should include this information on your route plan.
You might need to show proof of travel to that layover city (e.g., a ticket from Bulgaria to Ankara) and explain your travel arrangements. Consult the specific embassy or consulate for exact requirements.
