Protocol for a USA citizen to get passport (eventually for Turkey)?
Hello Yahoo community, I am planning on going to Turkey in the future. As a student on my University I have been chosen to demonstrate a Mathematics/CS project to a conference there. However, this would be the first time I have left the United States. So I was curious if anyone could shed some light on the subject. -Ross

When you get a passport, you can use it to travel to any country. See site below for all passport application info and to print out the form.

No advance Visa needed!!! They will apply a visa stamp on your American passport upon entrance to the country which carries a 50 US dollars app fee... You'll have a phenomenal time there ;) Good Luck!

Young Turk is right. That's what I did last year upon entry and it's rather an easy process.

You'll need to gather up some important pieces of information: your SSN and Driver's license or other State/Federally issued form of ID. You'll need to fill out an application and have it notarized by a notary public (I got mine done at the Town Hall where I live). Then, mail it to the address given on the application form, along with the fee (around $100 US). You should get the passport as early as possible, as it can take up to 3 months to be received/processed/mailed. If you're not over 18, the passport will only be valid for 5 years. Otherwise, it's valid for 10. When you make travel plans for turkey, the airline's website might ask for the passport information (number, country of origin) while you're booking your tickets.
