Surely as we are supposed to have a reciprocal agreement between Turkey and the UK the same rules and costs should apply to each others citizens.
Your comments are welcome! maybe we can start a new campaign.
I don't know that we do have a recipricol agreement. For example Turks have to apply to get a visa to visit the UK, a long winded and arbitory system, requiring UK sponsors, details of sponsers earnings and assets and bank account details, plus own proof of earnings, bank accounts, evidence of ownership or property or a business, etc.
And then they can be denied a visa. The application fee and appeals have to be paid for.
We on the other hand can just book our flights, turn up at passport control with our 10 quid visa and walk straight in.
And we in Turkey don't have to return back to the UK to apply for a fiance visa either and wait while some beaurocrat decides your life.
Turks have to return and apply for a fiance visa and this too can be denied.
Just a couple of examples of how its not such a recipricol agreement...
