Visa Advice Please

When I used the calculator it came up with September 3912 and the number of days as 693975 :

Does that mean they will take your £10 and give you a stamp even although the visa stamp in your passport is still current?

[Scunner]

The visa stamps are given without checking anything. You pay a tenner, they find a gap and stick the stamp in. You could then go to the back of the visa stamp queue, pay another tenner when you get to the front and they'd give you another

So if you have been in and out earlier in the year you just go straight to passport desk and they will stamp the same visa stamp that I bought in May? Take it it will come up on their screen dates when i have been in and out of Dalaman?

I am in need of some verication here as I am flumoxed.  If we were in Turkey from 10/04/2012. to 20/04/2012. and intend coming back on 06/10/2012 to 19/10/2012.  This means that when we arrive we are within the180 days but I am sure we will be outside the time period when we leave, so can anyone tell me should we get a new visa or just use the one from April.  Thanks in anticipation.

Surely they will lose a lot of money from tourists like myself who make 3 visits between April and October?

As you entered Turkey on 10 April 2012, (your date of arrival counts as day 1) I calculate the 180th day as 6 October 2012.  According to the new rules you cannot get another 90/180 day visa until the 181st day.  If you have an evening flight on 6 October and do not arrive until early hours of 7 October you will not have a problem.

I'm sure many people will be in a similar situation to you.  The new style visas issued from 1 February 2012 are now at or nearing their expiry date so it will be interesting to see what happens in the next few weeks to anybody who may have straddled the 180 days.

Thanks Marggie, our flight is a day flight on the 6th so we will arrive during the day, we therefore cannot get a new visa as it is the 180 day.  Are we therefore o.k. to leave on 19th without a visa.  Thanks.

There's an article in this week's edition of LoL, but has been taken from Kalkan Turkish Local News (KTLN). They have tried to find out what is happening as the first of the 90 / 180 day visas are just expiring. They have contacted various authorities & about the only one that has replied is Dalaman Airport, who stated that you would be able to purchase a new visa, even if the previous one had not expired, (despite this being in contravention of the law).

However, if you were to overstay you would be fined & that you would have to buy your next visa before leaving your country of origin, at the Turkish Embassy / Consulate. Also, if you overstay by more than 15 days, you would be banned from reentering Turkey, for a period of at least 3 months rising to 6 months.

KTLN do state that this was the only reply they got, & that, of course it being Turkey, anything could actually happen
