Great News :) :)
-
Fantastic news- but-and there is always a but- are there restrictions in place when you get to Turkey?
I assume you’ll get your temperature checked and be asked to provide your place of residence for the duration of your stay, but are the curfews still in place? If so, not really much point of travelling.
-
Hopefully as the FOH has said it is ok to go, the travel insurers will cover you for covid 19 claims. Hope so.

Best check the T&Cs on your policies.
-
Oh, don't forget that the green light for travel only applies to those from England. Separate rules apply to the rest of the UK.
-
Is this travel information reciprocal as the UK government have not stated that it is? I’d love to come over to Turkey, and especially Calis, but have the Turkish Government applied to same rules i.e no self isolation on arrival? This really needs some clarification. It’s all very well creating”air bridges” allowing people to fly to various destinations from the UK, but they have not stated what happens on arrival in these countries- this should be clarified as a matter of urgency, as a lot of tourists could be in for one hell of a shock otherwise. Getting insurance in the UK to cover you for a pandemic is now also virtually impossible.
-
From what I've read, I think the Turkish government has lifted all but a couple of restrictions. There are still specific curfews on the over 65s and all visitors and residents must wear facemasks in public areas.
However, as in pre-Covid-19 days, it's your responsibility to check that your insurance is valid and that you adhere to the conditions placed on you wherever you travel.

All your holiday pics will be with a face mask😂
So is that Turkish covid insurance compulsory like the visa?

Visas are no longer compulsory Bernie.

How do you get Turkish Covid Insurance
At the airport I believe Steve - reasonably cheap but only covers up to 7,000 tl. Might be wrong.
-
The need to self isolate on arrival in Turkey was removed a while ago. But over 65s only supposed to be out from 10-20.00 and everyone supposed to wear masks when out and about. Not when sitting in bars or restaurants though. Neither of them seem to be adhered to by a lot of people, but those are the rules so up to each individual. Covid19 insurance not mandatory but can be purchased at the airport I believe, highest cost is 23 euros for 7,000 euros cover. Posted on here, I think unde Cali s holidays in general section.

-
Hi Steve, just asking have you had any joy with insurance for your mom (assuming shes over 65 sorry if wrong) i've got to sort my moms out and not started looking yet can't see it being plain sailing :'(
thanks markar

Markar Stay sure are advertising Covid cover but you can buy Turkish coverat the airport.But in short no I haven’t looked yet,she normally does it via the Post Office
-
Think iv'e read in the Turkish press that the Turkish Covid 19 Ins will not cover over 65s

If memory serves our StaySure covid insurance was an extra £ 45
-
Just received an Automatic Reply email from StaySure saying it might be 14 days before I get a reply. :( :( :(
-
Thanks you guys re insurance, I'll update when I'm sorted.

Just phoned nationwide building society with regard to our yearly free flexi plus travel insurance for which we pay as a extra for our medical conditions that we both have, had to hold on freephone for 15 mins then spoke Lara a advisor who confirmed that as of the F. O . info that Turkey travel is valid there is no covid 19 excemptions meaning we are fully covered ,.no extra£££ to pay
.
great news indeed! its pays to phone the travel insurance glad I did
the only thing not covered is if the F O advice is withdrawn we cannot claim .
we are about to book a package with a on line holiday hypermarket deal [ £58 cheaper who are part of TUI group ] TUI package to calis for end of august feels better to do it that way rather than flight only they must get us home plus it works out £ 205 cheaper than our aborted june holiday and from local Bournemouth not gatwick
-
My understanding ,from Martin Lewis,is that if you have an annual policy that was taken out prior to the pandemic and it is a renewal of that policy they must cover you as it’s not a new policy it’s an extension of the dusting policy.
-
Steve A,
I understand that some insurers will not cover covid 19 at all, I think staysure need ££ extra likewise a few others, saga I think is included, nationwide have updated their policy terms hence my post .we would be covered, letter due in post to confirm and amend our policy
one other thing I know is if / when we book our calis package of which is on sale to the oykun and we pay in full , as it stands as of today 8 th july this hotel is not open as its awaiting Turkish clearance to open for clients to stay, im told by the owners email Turkish gov clearance keeps changing on a day to day basis so don't book it yet , if we do TUI will cancel and the dreaded refund process starts all over again
-
blueclad, we have just got our Travel insurance with Staysure and we are covered for Covid 19, it was a very good price at £69 for a couples insurance for an Annual Multi Travel, comprehensive, and if you buy it before the 31st of this month they add an extra 3 months, so now we have got 15 months cover !!! :)
-
Nationwide website is still showing Covid-19 restrictions for travel ins.
"If you opened a new FlexPlus account or booked a trip after 18 March 2020, you will not be covered for Coronavirus related travel claims. This is because it is a known and anticipated risk.
If your trip was booked before 18 March 2020, you may be covered if you held a FlexPlus or FlexAccount."
