Happy New Year guys,
Some one asked me today he is going for visa renewal and his passport is up July 2011 he has been told you can not get back in you have to have more than 6 months on it any information please 8)
-
Yes, that's right. The same applies to entry into most countries. Sometimes you can get away with it but if they're doing their job right, you can get refused entry.
-
Cheers KKOB but have just looked at my own when I came in mine is up in July 2011 and my residency is up February so I need mine renewed quickly :(
-
Looks like you'll have to send it off to Dusseldorf then.
-
Have you any info on that for me :D

Cheers guys just got this link about an hour ago I was in a panic [^]
-
we got back last night and customs fella reminded me you will need new passport soon
mine is up in june
-
Yes mine was up July 2011 so I have sent mine to Germany just a word of advice UPS is the only courier that does Germany. We were in Fethiye all day chasing couriers nothing easy in Turkey :(
-
My husband's passport was renewed in October through Dusseldorf. We sent it away using Aras Cargo. They are connected to DHL and as the Passport Office use DHL to send it back we were advised to use them. Passport came back via Aras Cargo as well.
We know some of our neighbours have used the Aras Cargo service as well.

Cheers for that mine went yesterday but had not heard about that one :-\
-
Yes we used Aras Cargo and our passports were back in 1 week.
-
Where is this one for future reference and how much 8)
-
don,t forget you can renew your passport 6 months before expiry and it will be added on to your next passport
-
Cheers Sarah so hopefully when my passport comes back it will be 10 yrs plus 6 months :D
-
The Aras Cargo office is just a couple of doors up from the UPS office beside the Otogar. I think from memory cost was was about 50 TL.
And yes they add on the unexpired months, up to 9 months, to the new passport.

Well it just shows you we paid 117 lira with UPS we learn every day thanks for the info so I can pass on to the next one looking a renewal ;)
-
Sorting mine this spring, and already sorted, friend is taking it to England, after I have filled in the forms, sending it to their house and they,re bringing it back, much safer and a lot cheaper
-
Hi Sarah that means you can not leave Turkey how long will your friend be away 8)
-
Hi Sarah. How will this work in regards to your passport being stamped? If you are in Turkey now, your passport has been stamped that you are in the country, and your new passport will have no stamp to say that you are in the country.
-
If it was sent from Germany it would still have no stamp in it!! You would just have to produce the old one to the Turkish passport officer.

No stamp ,but issueing authority says FCO, so maybe this makes a difference when leaving Turkey. Are they alert enought to look who issued new passport. Anyone used a new passport from Germany?
-
Where the passport was issued makes little or no difference. I've been in and out of Turkey several times on a passport issued by the British Consulate in Istanbul with an FCO mark on it.
If you're leaving the country after changing passports you just need to show both of them to prove that you had a valid visa. Don't worry though if you aren't able to show the old one because they'll be able to check all your previous entries and exits on their computer system.
This is the old one that I showed them, thanks to Molly, when I changed over. (Another good reason to keep photocopies of important documents) ;)

How long does it take when you send your passport for renewal Germany mine has been away 3 weeks 8)
-
I renewed mine this week too. New Photo's..£6 for 6, apparently they don't do less. I used the check and send service for £8.17..all she did was read the form and send it away with my old one. I could have done that myself for free...tut
Paid to have my documents returned recorded..another £3..a total of £93.67
Apparently it will come back within 10 days..then wait for it..unless of course it's held up for some reason..
I think it must be just me..lol
Roll on the 17th June, then it all be worth it..
-
according to this article people in Turkiye requiring to renew there passports can do so at the British Consulate in Bodrum.
