Title: Visa run to Meis
Post by: vexaar on January 31, 2008, 18:13:13 PM

Some UK people from Kalkan went today to Meis and were asked 15 euro for visa instead of 10£. I don't know who asked them. Maybe the boat man.

Is this normal?

Yes because they are re entering Turkey from Greece which has Euros as it's currency.

Passport Police at Kas are reluctant to accept £s, that why it's 15 Euros.

Makes life easier because you only need to be carrying 2 currencies, Euros and YTL.

At least they didnt get asked for 50 EUROS (not selo) like I did but I got my money back 3 months later.  Yes 15 euros for long time now.
