TL;DR
Your passport should have at least 120 days of validity remaining when entering Turkey. With only around 30 days left—even for a one-week trip—you may be denied boarding or entry.
Check passport validity as of your entry date: the discussion points to a 120-day minimum. If fewer days remain, there is a real risk of being denied travel or entry.
A one-week Istanbul trip is risky for a child whose passport expires in about 30 days, as this does not meet the 120-day validity guideline.
No separate form is needed for this check; the key requirement is having at least 120 days of passport validity remaining.
