Post by: Somerset Simon on December 12, 2013, 12:50:09 PM: So it's now 20 USD per person (£12.19), looking back it was £10 in 2000 so can't really complain at the price increase?

Post by: Somerset Simon on December 12, 2013, 12:58:35 PM: Correction, just looked at an old passport and it was £10 in 1998, I am sure someone will know more accurately!

Post by: gyr on December 12, 2013, 13:17:03 PM: What happens if you have an existing visa that expires after 11th April 2014, do you carry on using this until your first visit after it expires?

Post by: Somerset Simon on December 12, 2013, 13:24:14 PM: The briefing says British Nationals will not be able to purchase entry stamps after 10th April 2014 and will need to have pre purchased an eVisa, so I read it that existing stamps will be valid until their expiry.

Post by: loz on December 12, 2013, 16:32:38 PM: And for people who do not have Internet or internet savvy then I guess the buying of a visa at the airport is still on?

Post by: Colwyn on December 12, 2013, 16:43:16 PM: Presumably those not connected to the internet will be buying their flights or holidays either via post, phone or from a travel agent. In this case I would expect their agent to advise on need for visa and, probably, provide one (with charge for the service).

Self service Turkish style, machine and a bloke to work it for you.

But seriously, with the visa being a "on demand" visa, without any data collected from the applicant then its likely there will be some provision on arrival. Alternatively they may make it a condition of carriage for the airlines that passengers have a valid visa before being allowed to travel. Can see some dopey check in punter trying to do the maths at 4.30am to see if you're within the 90/180 day rule!
