Turkey has extended its state of emergency for another three months.
The 90-day extension goes into effect from October 19.
The country’s government first enacted a state of emergency on July 21, six days after an attempted coup.
It said the extension would help it fight terrorism but opposition politicians have accused President Recep Tayyip Erdogan of using the extra powers to stamp down on critics.
Having a state of emergency means the government is able to enforce curfews, restrict or suspend rights and freedoms, have tighter control on the media and greater powers of arrest.
The Foreign and Commonwealth Office said it isn’t expected to impact tourists, although it advised visitors that in some busy areas, especially Istanbul, Turkish authorities have been stopping members of the public to conduct ID checks.
It said there is also a larger than usual number of police checkpoints on main roads across Turkey.
"You should co-operate with officials conducting checks, and keep your passport and a printed copy of your e-visa or your residence permit with you at all times," it said.
Political unrest and terror attacks in Turkey have badly hit the country’s tourism and several high profile Turkey specialists have failed as a result, including Anatolian Sky and Jewel in the Crown Holidays.
TUI and Thomas Cook have also reported a huge shift away from Turkey, despite the main tourist areas not being widely affected.
