visa

There are so many grey areas here that even with Turkeys penchant for moving goal posts it is unbelievable.  This needs clarification urgently or someone is going to get back from a visa run to Meis or wherever to be told Sorry you cant have a new visa for three months but you have just got time to get to Dalaman and sod off!

Or be refused entry to Kas!!!

But having said that, the information from Lucy & yabanci seems to suggest that the visa stamp you get at Dalaman and the one on return to Kas are completely different - what level of grey area does that create??!! Someone is going to find themselves in huge difficulties I think.

Perhaps they are two different visa stamps out now.Mine was a 15 Euro one.

i came back via Dalaman on friday,  10pound multi entry visa it now states,  Quote, Multiple entry visa valid for an intended stay of no more than 90 days per period 180 days duration begins on the date of entry to Turkey holder has no right to work''there is a printed stamp mark right across this new information stating multiple entry visa void for 90 days, what this means i just do not no, but that's how its stated word for word on the new stamp, any light on this subject would be much appreciated.

Has anyone encountered the situation at Dalaman where the official insists on taking a £10 payment even when you are returning within  90 days? The guy behind the desk was suddenly unable to understand English and the queue behind us were getting impatient so I ended up paying £10 but Jean was let in without a charge even though the entry dates on our passport stamps were identical.

It is beginning to look as though it is 90 days and you are out for 3 months unless you have residency.....or peraps I should seek assylum in Russia or Syria then I would not need a Visa:-\

I don't understand that if you had a valid visa, why did you go to the visa desk and not straight to the imigration desk for it to be stamped?

This is a bit sneaky isn't it.As far as I know there has been nothing about it in the newspapers here.Seems to me IMHO that the govt here are trying to squeeze as much money as they can from ex-pats. Not everyone can afford the high price of 1, 2 or 5 year visas since the hefty increases last year.

But on the other hand they are not wrong to tighten up the abuse of the tourist visa system by permanent residents. If it was happening in the UK, there would be an outcry. It is a visa for tourists, simple as that - you can't argue.

he didn't say he did - perhaps it was immigration that sent him away to pay the fee?

Watching this one with interest perhaps Starman can clarify the situation - or Linda1953
