Please join us for the 47th Apimondia Congress in Istanbul! The venue is the same one we used in 2017 and so some of you will know what a wonderful setting this venue provides for a successful ApiExpo and Apimondia Congress. For those of you who could not join us in 2017, now is your chance to come to a vibrant city where East meets West, with a great international airport and convenient central location. We are busy planning an exciting programme on bees, keeping and all aspects of our craft.
Please join us as we all wish to meet and talk in person after such a long COVID confinement in our respective areas of the world. We look forward to hearing the bids from Europe of our 49th Congress in 2025 and voting on that venue. For the first time the 47th Congress will be a hybrid meeting with an option to attend portions of the meeting virtually, but we hope you can attend in person.
Covid-19 travel rules / vaccination types
Currently, Turkey accepts all vaccines including including Sinovac and Sputnik V. There is no requirement for travelers to have any specific type of COVID-19 vaccination. The rules simply state that individuals who were fully vaccinated 14 days or more before arriving in Turkey may enter.
Easy access
Istanbul is considered to be one of the main air traffic hubs connecting many international airlines from Europe to Middle-East, Asia and Africa. Thanks to the Turkish Airlines massive network (flying to more countries in the world than any other airline) Istanbul became a more popular and widely visited destination with two international airports in each continent.
Easy Visa
Visas are required for entry into Turkey by nationals of most countries. However, E-Visa system allows nationals of 103 countries to easily obtain their e-Visas online in approximately three minutes and citizens of 89 countries can enter Turkey without any visas for 30, 60 or 90 days.
Past experience
The 45th Apimondia Congress was held in Istanbul with more than 12.500 participants from 127 different countries. The Congress will be held in the Istanbul Congress Center (ICC).
