Title: Someone washed my passport
Post by: SteveJ on May 07, 2017, 10:14:17 AM

Don't worry she's still living but my passport is a ginner. We fly back on Saturday. Any helpful suggestions on how to resolve this will be gratefully received.

Contact the Honourary Consul, he'll sort you out.

Yep, he's your man. He'll be able to issue an Emergency Travel Document which will be valid only for your return journey to the UK. His office is in the Likya iş Merkezi / Likya Building on Ataturk Cad.

Take your washed passport with you as the Pasaport Polis at Dalaman always enjoy a good laugh. They were very impressed with how much of my passport I was able to recover when my Kangal got hold of it.   :)

In case you're not familiar with the Likya Is building, it's the big blue one, which if you stand outside Migros in the town centre is on the opposite side of the road & slightly to your right. Same building as Holident

You need to complete a form online and also make an appointment , also online for the consul in Fethiye. Cost of the paper to allow you to travel is £100, it is not a new passport. You will have to apply for a new one once back in UK.
