Keeping Our Readers In Touch...

We are aware that when you are a foreigner here you feel as if you have lost touch with what goes on in the rest of the world. Sometimes you don’t understand the language spoken here and have to rely on the odd news feed in order to find out more about the country you are living in.

Will the new visa changes affect you

Change to Turkish Visa Procedures
A visitor's visa valid for 90 days is issued to British Citizens at the port of entry on payment of £10 (English notes only) . British diplomatic/official passport holders must apply for a visa before travelling to Turkey.

Under new Turkish Immigration Procedures, effective from 14 July 2010, British nationals (and the nationals of 62 other countries) will still be issued with a 90 day visitor's visa on arrival. However, this visa can no longer be renewed after 90 days. The visa can only be used for a stay of up to 90 days within a 180 day period. You will now need to wait until the 181st day before you can apply for another 90 day visitor's visa.
