Italian Embassy & Consulates in Turkey

Italy has its embassy in Ankara, the capital; the address on record is Atatürk Bulvarı 118, 06680 Ankara. The head of mission on record is Giuseppe Manzo. Its phone number and website are on its page.

Italy also has a consulate general in Istanbul and a consulate in Izmir; its work is consular: passports and documents for its own citizens and, often, visas for visitors.

Italy has 6 honorary consulates in Turkey, in Nevşehir, İskenderun, Güllük, Gaziantep, Bodrum and Antalya; an honorary consul offers first help and passes documents on, but visas and passports are issued elsewhere.

Italy requires Turkish citizens to hold a visa issued in advance. Applicants in Turkey turn to the Italian embassy in Ankara or one of the consulates in Istanbul and Izmir; many countries also use an outsourced visa centre.

In return, Turkey has 9 missions in Italy, including its embassy in Rome.
