Amid the growing feud between Turkey and the US, a visa suspension has been implemented by both countries.
According to the Turkish embassy in Washington, the Turkish consulate stated that it needed to "reassess" the US government's commitment to the security of the mission and its personnel.
Meanwhile, a similar statement was earlier made by the US embassy in Ankara.
It is believed that the issue emerged right after a US consulate worker in Istanbul was held last week on suspicion of links to a cleric blamed for last year's failed coup in Turkey. However, Washington condemned the move and said that it was "baseless and damaging" to bilateral relations.
WHAT TRIGGERED THE FEUD?
The Trump administration halted visa services for Turkish citizens on Sunday, citing the Oct. 4 arrest of a Turkish citizen employed at the U.S. consulate in Istanbul for alleged involvement in the July 2016 coup attempt. Erdogan's government responded in kind within hours, repeating verbatim much of the U.S. statement.
The arrested consulate employee was a male Turkish citizen, Turkey's state-run Anadolu news agency reported.
Based on its statement on Sunday, the Turkish embassy in Washington said: "Recent events have forced the Turkish government to reassess the commitment of the government of the US to the security of the Turkish mission facilities and personnel."
"In order to minimize the number of the visitors to our diplomatic and consular missions in the US while this assessment proceeds, effective immediately we have suspended all visa services regarding the US citizens at our diplomatic and consular missions in the US."
"This measure will apply to sticker visas as well as e-visas and border visas."
Furthermore, the Turkish statement is virtually the same as the earlier American statement, with only the country names replaced.
The American mission said that "all non-immigrant visa services at all US diplomatic facilities in Turkey" had been suspended.
As a result of the growing feud between the two countries, non-immigrant visas are issued to those travelling to the US for tourism, medical treatment, business, temporary work or study.
Those seeking citizenship or permanent residency are required to apply for US immigrant visas.
Ankara has, for months, been persistent to seek clarifications from Washington, asking to extradite US-based cleric Fethullah Gulen over his alleged role in the coup attempt in July 2016.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan accuses Mr Gulen of instigating the unrest - a charge the cleric denies.
In the aftermath of the coup attempt, which was led by military officers, 40,000 people were arrested and 120,000 sacked or suspended.
