Countries Where Only Identity is Sufficient For Entry

It is one of most people's greatest dreams to travel abroad, at least for once. Many of us have even heard that the people we know have a purpose of traveling the world. Maybe we're among those people. As good as the idea of going to different countries is, unfortunately, the process of going abroad does not go as easily and smoothly as we think. It is a fact that the process of passport and visa takes a lot of time and is tiring, but this does not cause you to postpone your dream abroad and cool off from this idea, because there are countries where you can go using only your ID.

With the political decisions taken between countries, it is now very easy for you to step into other countries without visa barriers. However, your ID needs to comply with the new app, which means you can only enter countries with your chip ID card. Unfortunately, it is not possible to log in with old IDs with photos. For those who want to experience an easier and cheaper foreign experience where passport processing is not a problem, you can find these 5 countries where only ID is sufficient to enter from Turkey.
