The significant increase in the use of green passports in Turkey in recent years has become a subject of debate within the European Union. It is stated that officials in Brussels are expressing the view that the passport has lost its "privileged status" due to the expansion of its scope.
The increase in rights granted to different segments, such as municipal staff, certain professional groups, and union members, has brought the topic of "revisiting the scope" to the agenda on the EU side.
RESTRICTIONS ON THE TABLE
It is noted that the visa-free travel opportunity, which is the most notable advantage of the green passport, may be reconsidered in the coming period. According to a claim in the Türkiye Gazetesi, the European Union has begun evaluating the option of implementing a visa requirement for green passport holders arriving from Turkey.
