The 90/180 only came into force on the 1st Feb, any before that are still on the old system and once they run out you can have a 90/180 day visa, when that runs out (after 90 days in the country) you have to be out of the country until the 180 days are up.

I believe that at a recent meeting with the UK Consul in Bodrum they confirmed that the Turkish authorities have said that they are unlikely to invoke this in the foreseeable future.

I'm in the same situation.I first came out from 26.3 - 7.4 (13 days)I would like to return Sept to mid Oct but my visa is only valid until 20.9.12 Do I buy another on entry or do I have to return on this one.I do not own a property in Calis just a visitor.It's all a bit confussing.

I believe Jan when the new rules came out it was said that you can stay for 90 days in any 180 day visa, pretty sure you can not buy a new one until your current one has expired:(
So you may have to rethink your September dates and have your holiday when your 180 days have elapasd then you can buy a new one which again you will be able to have a maximum of 90 days on your new 180 visa.
Hope this is a help :)

Depends what date you intend to arrive in September - if it is after 21 September (180th day) you will be able to get a new Visa on entry as it will be 181 days or more since the commencement of your previous Visa.  However if your date of entry is before 22 September you will still have some of the 90 days remaining but your holiday will straddle the 180 day ruling.  You must therefore go out of Turkey (say to Rhodes or Meis) on the 180th day and will not be able to return until the 181st day. On your return to Turkey you will be issued with a further 90/180 day Visa.

Hope this helps.

If this is how it is going to work then I think Turkey has knocked yet another big nail in the tourism coffin.
If you were away for a week and had to do a visa trip in the middle then I think most people will just go elsewhere.

Its applying the same rules as the Schengen treaty countries which include Spain, France and Italy.

If you return on or after 22 September you will have no problem - just get another 90/180 day Visa when you land in Delaman.
