I spent 42 days in Turkey earlier this year and am returning for a further 82 days. I have been told that I can or will be allowed the £10 visa on entry which would cover the period that I will be staying BUT, would I be better applying for the extension nearer the end of the first visa?   Jan - Feb = 42    May - July = 82

I think to get an answer to your question Ray it would depend on what type of visa you got earlier this year if it is a 90 in 180 days visa thin you may be up the creek. Also I am not aware you can 'extend' your visa.

I too would like to know Ray if it is the new 90/180 day visa you have, only because if it is possible to extend your visa I would be interested in knowing how to do this as well:D

It's a 90 day visa.  I shall keep you informed.  If they give me another 90 day visa at Dalaman I'm cool.  Will keep you posted.

They only issue the maximum 90 days in 180 days visa now. We got one 3 weeks ago. I was told by passport police that I could not have more than 90 days in the next 6 months. I was also led to understand that I could not renew until the old one has run out.

I am pretty sure we can't it has all been covered on here earlyr this year, the 180 day thing would be totally pointless, however if you manage it somehow Ray I will be interested in knowing how  ;)

Landed at Dalaman, first to reach Visa Control.  I had 48 days remaining on my 90/180 visa. The man checked my passport thoroughly and said "you have many days left or do you want new visa?"
I had previously been here in January for 42 days and had expected to take out residency to stay beyond the 48 days but, no need.  Paid £10 and got a new Visa which did NOT state 90/180.  So ????????

As I understand it, the new 90/180 rules did not come into effect until the 1st Feb 2012 so if you purchased your previous visa in Jan regardless of what it said on it, it waould have been a standard 90 day visa. so when you arrived this time, you would have been entitled to buy a new visa. ;)

I know what you're saying philrose but if they were just applying the new rule then surely they would not have given me the option of using the remaining 48 days on the old visa.  The new visa is the same 90/180 days but they have not stamped the 90 days on top which they did previously. No matter, for the time being, this situation suits me until I apply for residency.
