Logic suggests that.

I bet you will still need a visa though, even if it is free.

As I said previously, the British press may misinterpret "visa free" & "free visa". Let's just wait and see how it pans out...

Does say on gov.uk that from march 2nd, British nationals travelling to Turkey for tourist or business purposes will no longer need a visa for visits of up to 90 days in a 180 day period.
Passports will presumably still be scanned and stamped on arrival and departure so this will show length of time spent in Turkey in a given period.

Just to add to the above - The Foreign Office says: “The Turkish government advise that your passport should be valid for at least six months from the date you enter Turkey and that there is a full blank page for the entry and exit stamps.
Definitely one to keep an eye on as things always changing. This forum best place to get latest information.

Ok then - not like Turkey to reduce the amount of paperwork and red tape for anything.  :)

Looks like I won’t be using my Irish passport anymore

 I'm being cynical, but it seems like a lot of income to be without. Even at the old £10 visa, approx 230 seats per plane.
( I know,..I googled it  ;D) However many flights in each and every day...
I know they say don't look a gift horse and all that..but what's the catch??

The cynic in me has to agree with you Bernie. We will have to wait and see what they have up their sleeve  to surprise us with  ???

They'll recoup it through the 'hotel tax'. Plus, they'll not need to pay so much in wages to the visa clerks at the borders.
