I have been made aware that everyone entering Turkey must complete a Passenger Locator form we are flying easy jet and I only found out by searching their website.So I have downloaded the forms which I will complete and keep with me whilst travelling.
What do I do with it on arrival ,do I show it at passport control or is it handed to staff on the plane ?
I have also been told that there is a form to complete prior to arrival back in the U.K. but I can only find an online version not downloadable and only able to do it a maximum of 48hrs before arrival,this will be no good for my mother and her elderly companion who do not use the Internet.
Does anyone have experience of recently returning to UK and what is required.

I understand that you can download the back to uk form and fill it in BUT the problem is 48 hrs prior to come back to uk when I think you get a text with a code that has to go on the form my wife does not have a mobile smart phone only a old fashion basic type so we are in a bit of limbo land when we come home, im going to try im not good at phone tec to get these forms onto my basic smart phone and as I have 2 g mail accounts il try one for each of us, other option is to get help in calis in our hotel or some where else
if we can, I think this return to uk form is for any return from any country , if I find out more ill post on here , we go on 23 august
-
Does it come as a text message (sms)? Most people switch off their roaming when coming to Turkey so how are they supposed to receive a code?

Steve A,
I am travelling to Calis next week, and like you have doing the home work. You have already found the Turkish arrival form so no need to link that, but here is the link for the form back into the UK.
https://www.gov.uk/provide-journey-contact-details-before-travel-uk (https://www.gov.uk/provide-journey-contact-details-before-travel-uk)
Found on .Gov website.
Hope this helps. 8) 8)

Yeah thanks Wasp o that’s the form that I’ve found but my issues are that reading through it appears that this is for Travellers to U.K. not those returning from holiday and how are you meant to complete this whilst abroad if you don’t have internet access as a lot of people don’t.My Mother is elderly,goes to Turkey every year,does not use the internet and wouldn’t have a clue what or how to do this.
I would like to hear from anyone who has returned from Turkey to see what they had to do.

Ah Gotcha, sorry did'nt help. I saw there was a 'Download & Print' option, but having just gone through the form, you can't submit it more than 48 Hours from the arrival date you fill in. Bloody silly that, why can't they let you print out blank forms that you then fill out 48 hours before you fly??
Let us know if you find one and vica-versa. I am travelling next week so interested. I assume rightly or wrongly that maybe Easyjet (Or Carrier in DLM) will have these forms to fill out on aircraft? or is that just to plain optimistic?
-
I think the purpose of it being submitted on line is to avoid paper having to be collected at a U.K. airport.
As Wasp0 has said, it can be completed Up to 48 hrs before departure, so someone could maybe assist your mother Steve A on their device?
She could then get it printed to be able to show at UK immigration if, she is randomly selected (???) to prove that they had completed the form.
I have found nothing yet on any website that suggests the handing in of a paper form is an option.
-
It’s on Facebook that there are long queues at Dalaman airport due to people not completing these forms.

We drove back to the uk a couple of weeks ago when we got on the ferry at Rotterdam we were told that you had to fill in an online form prior to leaving the ferry terminal in hull, in the morning I started to fill in the form online it’s pretty straight forward but for all adults must be filled in separately minors who live with you are ok on driving of the ferry I had only filled in mine when we got to the border force gate they asked had I filled it in when I said only mine they made me park up fill in the wife’s form then I had to show the emailed receipt before I could leave (Once you have submitted the form you get email confirmation) this form can be filled in 48 hours before arriving into the uk if you have not submitted a form you can be fined £100

its getting the code is the problem, if you don't have a smart phone or tablet , when you do the form I understand you get a email or a text the reason for the enter uk form is to put people on track and trace that why you put your flight / ferry on plus your seat numbers , so any one else who goes down with the bug your then a close contact , likewise on the enter Turkey form you put plane info plus seat number and your address in Turkey to me its clear as mud , I hope anyone who has returned from calis area can post on here how they did it,
also on booking our transfer for 23 august with F A T I had to give passenger info, again its a track and trace system they have to do to get their transfer health certificate

The border force staff actually helped people fill in the forms there was a guy toeing a caravan in front of me and the border force staff had iPads and filling the forms in for the driver
-
Had a good sniff about and what I figure is once air corridors were agreed we don’t need to fill in a form for returning to the U.K. Willing for someone to prove me wrong

You're not allowed to check-in for a flight at Dalaman to the UK unless you can prove that you've completed the form and can show the reference number. I was there this morning and there were more than half of the passengers for that flight that had to stand there and complete the form on their phones.
I showed that I'd completed mine the previous day and went to the head of the queue. :)
I was given a piece of paper with the QR code and website details on arrival on Monday.
No sign of anyone being asked to produce proof of completion on arrival at Gatwick though.

So like I’ve asked what happens to the elderly,my mother doesn’t have a phone or anything to access the internet,is there somewhere she can go that will help her.This is not very well publicised at all

I would suggest that if you are leaving the UK and have a return ticket that you complete the form before departure. You'll have all the necessary details to hand and hopefully someone who can help with completion if needed.
If possible print a copy of the completed form, although it's not essential, provided that you can show proof of the reference number on a mobile device.
To be fair, the check-in staff were being very helpful but it was causing considerable delay to the check-in process for those that had already completed their forms. There were a couple of old ladies who were getting very distraught because they hadn't got phones and were unable to complete the forms. They were taken to an office by a couple of young staff who spoke excellent English and they completed the forms for them. BUT, it seems that in most cases, people weren't even aware of the need for the completion of the form.

Thanks KKOB going to get her a tablet to take with her ,show her what to do before she goes and give her written instructions
-
Remind her to make sure it's fully charged too.
-
KKOB , may I ask about the form you were given please I e the paper you were given with the with the Q R where did you obtain that in dalaman airport ? is this the code you need to complete the form 48 hrs prior to coming back to uk..
Thanks in advance
-
Yes, it's a sheet of A4 with a QR Code and a website address and details of what was required.
As we got off the plane at Dalaman there was a young lady handing them out. I think most people were under the impression that she was selling something so they either refused it or took one and dropped it further along the way.
On the outward journey we all had to complete a form for the Turkish authorities. 1 sheet of A4, half for Turkish citizens to complete, the other half for foreigners. The form for entry to the UK runs to 3 pages !
-
Thanks for your time KKOB so good of you to reply
-
Help please i am confused. I am thinking of booking for Calis for this weekend do i have to fill in a form for arrival into dalaman?? Any info appreciated. Thanks
-
You'll be given a form to complete either at the airport or during your flight to Turkey. It's quite a simple one. Just half a page. Your details and the address at which you're staying and the dates. If you're not given the form you'll be asked to complete it once you've landed at Dalaman and before you go through Passport Contril.

Here is a link to the Passenger Locator Form for arrivals in Turkey. I got it from the EasyJet website, but it is not specific to easyJet.
Hope it is of some help.
