Turkey has increased the period of visa-free stay for the citizens of three Central Asian countries - Tajikistan, Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan, the press service of the Turkish president said.

“The corresponding decree was signed by Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan,” the message reads.

Now citizens of these three countries will be able to stay in Turkey without a visa for up to 90 days within every six months (180 days), instead of the current 30 days.

It is noted that the document will take effect within a week.
