Other half travels on his US passport - so pays $20US - they won't accept £10 from him, even though he travels from UK.

At least now you can use a £20 note for two people or even use a credit card.

There's also no longer any issues with giving change, as long as they have the particular currency in their till.

As far as I can remember it has been the case for a couple of years. When standing in the queue I have seen this happen at Dalaman and I am sure there is a comment about credit cards on the list of visa charges posted next to the visa counters. I hope other members have noticed as well.

Ps I can only guess that this change came about when Dalaman was put into private ownership.

Post by: JohnF on August 06, 2007, 17:23:34 PM: Canadians pay 60USD or 45EUR for a 90 day visa.

As regards the "change" issue, nothing has altered at the new Dalalman terminal in respect of visa's etc, they were and still are government employees.
