Title: Visa renewal
Post by: Dempava on October 08, 2009, 15:28:57 PM: Can anyone tell me is there a time scale as to when you can renew your visa prior to it running out?

We have friends coming out end of November and they would like to go across to Meis from Kas for the day out.

Our visa's run out on the 15th December so would we be able to renew them sometime in the last week of November or first week of December?

Don't forget that you'll need 15 Euros per person for the visas. They don't like Sterling at Kas .

Also be aware that new, reduced, Duty Free allowances came into force yesterday.

Post by: Linda1953 on October 28, 2009, 15:04:56 PM: KKOB you cant always get a new visa even if youve got 5-12 days left to run. I went ages ago to Bulgaria and I had about 5 days left and they told me this was enough for me. They pretended they didnt understand anything I said and told me to get back on the coach minus my new visa despite waving the 15 euro in their faces an asking for a new visa in limited Turkish. That was a nasty experience for me. People up here avoid the Bulgarian run for this reason now. Why they are like this Ive no idea. Maybe because the police are not getting a back hander up there like they do in other places. Needless to say I have residency now but that was my experience. Yes Fethiye is much easier and more pleasant.

The original question that I answered was about getting a new Tourist Visa at Kas via Meis / Kastelorizo NOT via the Bulgarian / Turkish border. :D

I wouldn't reply to a question about doing the Bulgarian Visa Run because I haven't had first hand experience of it.

Post by: Dempava on October 29, 2009, 07:18:02 AM: Yes and I appreciated his quick response but 20 days later Linda1953 contradicted his response. So who's correct? Can you renew your visa at any time or not? Thats all I'd like to know.
But as now I'm no wiser!!

Post by: Linda1953 on January 07, 2010, 10:14:54 AM: KKOB was probably right about the Mais Run but the Bulgarian run is different kettle of fish. You should try it KKOB its very exciting!

Post by: The Crinklies on July 17, 2010, 19:59:52 PM: Re visa renewal - if we apply to renew our residency visas approx 4 weeks before they run out, does anyone know if the renewal date would continue on from the previous one or would we lose 4 weeks?
Thanks in advance for any help.

Yes we did realise that if you buy a tourist visa at the airport, that the above applies but do you know if that also applies to residency renewals please?
Thanks
