I am a citizen of the Russian Federation, but I live in Greece (residence permit for the wife of a Greek). I wanted to buy a tour to Istanbul. The travel agency requires a certificate from the Russian Embassy with permission to leave. What it is?

))) this is something new. Did you provide a sample certificate?

Buy a tour from another agency, everyone can't have brain overheating.

Thank you. Tomorrow I'll try something else. I hope that this is just a whim (nonsense) of the tour operator. The sample was not given.
I was hoping that with a Russian passport, a Greek residence permit and a voucher, there would be no problems with entering Turkey and returning to Greece, but here it is. Sadly.

It actually looks like a gamble...

I tried to explain to her that entry is visa-free for Russians. He says that there will be problems, but he does not say what ...
I have never been to Turkey. Maybe I'm stupid and don't understand something... After all, for the trip I only need a passport, residence permit, voucher, money))) do I need? We got together with a Greek friend to go, she already looks at me like I'm at the plague)))

Book a hotel in Istanbul, buy a round-trip ticket for any type of transport, make a deal with this agency.

olgaap20, do not pay attention, all sorts of miracles happen in life.)))
I join the recommendation to go by yourself without eccentric agencies.

Indeed, why buy a tour? Some kind of crap, but anything is possible, hotel reservations, tickets and forward, there can be no problems a priori! Go to another agency, to the third, if you want to take a tour, you will be happy! The key issue is that you move around the world with a Russian passport, and the issue of being in Greece legally is clearly not a priority for consideration in a travel agency ...;)

Some nonsense. Still, they would have demanded permission from dad and mom, and at the same time from her husband. They are still closer relatives than the employees of the Russian embassy.)))
аватар olgaap20
Thank you. There is neither experience nor time to organize an independent trip (((I wanted to be faster and ready for everything))) But I can grow up. fly from Athens to Istanbul with a passport or a visa-free regime only when arriving directly from the Russian Federation))) And they won’t let me into the country)))
аватар ollennka
The visa-free regime does not depend on the country from which you arrived, the citizenship by passport is important.
аватар AllOverTheWorld
your tour operator has an interesting logic .. you need a certificate of departure (from Greece !!!!) from the Russian embassy.
An entry permit (i.e. a visa, if required) is understandable ... but what is an exit permit ..... just like in North Korea .....
Isn’t she interested in a medical certificate and checking your reliability?)
аватар ollennka
Isn't the author of the question playing a prank on us? At first it was about some kind of certificate for leaving Greece, then about doubts about entering Turkey without a visa ...
аватар olgaap20
Good morning! Unfortunately, I’m not playing ((((I’ve just been in a state of some kind of amok for the last 24 hours. Until yesterday, I was also calm and sure that everything was exactly as you say. And I was preparing my suitcase in anticipation of a great weekend. I was killed by the demand for permission to leave Greece from the Russians. Nonsense! It’s just, I think, my aunt doesn’t want to get involved with a foreigner, she’s afraid, apparently, that in case of unforeseen circumstances I will demand from her ... Or who will save me, Russians or Greeks))). about the entry appeared while in the dead of night wandering on the Internet and read that the entry must be from the country that issued the document. Unfortunately, I didn’t save it and now I can’t find it ((Here my wings completely drooped, so I’m dumb (((
аватар ollennka
"Save" will be a travel agency (within the framework of their obligations under the contract) and medical insurance (check that it is in the tour package or arrange it yourself).
аватар Olgaolga153
I don't get it, who's stupid? Russian citizens do not need a visa or any special permission to enter Turkey. What difference does it make what country they came from? I have a passport, I have a voucher, round-trip travel documents, What else do you need? ollennka wrote about it above.
Maybe they need some kind of certificate confirming this information, since it’s not fate to look at it on the Internet?
Citizens of Russia calmly go on vacation from other countries. There are no flights to Egypt now, they fly from Ukraine, Belarus. Citizens of Ukraine calmly travel to any country from Russia (a similar issue was recently discussed). A Ukrainian working in Russia did not need to travel to his homeland to fly to Thailand.
Your agency is dumb. Turn to another - and you will be happy.

Greeks are lazy and stupid by nature. He probably just doesn't want to get involved.
Contact another agency.
аватар kvi2007
The result is interesting;), the author of the post, voice it, be so kind!)))
аватар olgaap20
Good evening! I still collect the suitcase, because. I purchased the tour from another agency.
Many thanks to all who responded)))
