Title: Visa question?
Post by: Jenny1 on September 12, 2010, 18:55:01 PM: Hi, I know this could be a blonde question, but my daughter has just advised me that if I pay £10 visa, and I visit Turkey again within 6 months I don't need to pay again?
I am under the impression you have to pay every time you visit?

Post by: Julesp on September 12, 2010, 20:38:42 PM: At the moment you can return within 90 days as long as the visa doesnt run out before you leave

The reason behind all the dohs is because there has been a big thread about this recently and lots of confusion and speculation

I went back and stayed from 2nd July to 25th July using the same visa and got out with about 4 days to spare 8). I am going again on Friday and will have to buy another one 8) Get the idea ;):D

Thanks Ken, get the picture.now, can't believe I have paid every time!! :-\
so how do you get them to understand you have paid in the last 6 months? Do you just show the visa man your stamp or can you go straight to passport control and show them?
OR is it easier to just pay the £10?? :)

The £10 paid buys you a visa stamp for a 3 month period....if it still valid & will cover the duration of your holiday just go straight to passport control. Once it expires then you have to queue & pay it again.
