Hi
Apologies if this question has been asked, but I am I a little confused do I now get
My visa online or can I still pay for it at dalman, I am coming to calis in June for three weeks.
Thanks in advance clair ;D

If you use the search facility you will find this question has been answered a number of times. However, best to get it online and make sure you use the official Turkish Government website. https://www.evisa.gov.tr/en/
There are clone sites out there that will charge you a lot of money.
It's $20.00 online about £12.00. If you leave it until you get to Dalaman Airport it will cost you £20.00 each.
-
Almost unheard of I know, but this time I agree with Jacqui.
-
Although this subject has been discussed at length on this forum, I feel it still needs airing while there still seems to be some confusion in peoples minds. We are coming out on 29th May, yesterday I filled in the API on the Monarch site, no problem there, however I have had no notification from Monarch that I need a visa to enter Turkey. As a seasoned visitor to the country, and due mainly to the advice on this forum, I have already purchased and printed my visa, but surely the airlines have a duty to bring it to the attention of their customers?
-
Perhaps they know you are a seasoned visitor to Turkey? Maybe they've hacked into your computer and are reading about our impending affair?
-
Goodness that had completely slipped my mind, must nip off for a quick wax and have my roots re-touched. Silly me, as if this our fling wasn't important to me!! :P
-
Talking of waxing, my truck needs a service.
-
Absolutely NO COMMENT, not suitable for this time of day!! :)
-
KKOB does Echogirl know that you have arranged with me to intimidate you? I think you are a two timer. ;D :o
-
I thought I'd arranged for you to intimate me !!
Besides, I'm a 4 timer !
-
That's it you and me are finished. Cancel the waxing and go back to knitting socks for sailors. Jacqui I am ashamed of you. :)
-
You know what these Royals are like Echogirl. Never satisfied with their lot.
-
I am finished with you too... look for someone else who specialises in intimidation ;D
-
Oh well, 2 down, 2 to go. ;)
-
Back on subject (sorry to spoil your joshing) I am having trouble getting the on line visa. When I go to pay, I can enter the card number and the 3 figures on the back, but when I try to put in the expiry date, it has today's date in it and I cannot remove it or over type it. Has anyone else had this problem? I did message the site helpline, but they told me to either try again later, use another card (could be anyone's) or contact my bank. I did contact my bank as I had tried about 8 times, with the date locked, just to make sure that payments hadn't gone out. It is obviously a fault with the site/my computer anyone else come across this?
-
Sadler have you tried it using a different browser? I get this on some websites (I use Firefox normally) and if I try again using chrome or IE the problem isn't there. Worth a try.
-
Haven't thought of that Scunner, I was accessing it from the email they sent me using internet explorer. Will give that a go.
-
Yea, Scunner, downloaded Firefox (a new experience for me to download anything) and printed it straight away! Now got the husband's to do. Fingers crossed. Many thanks, again this forum comes to the rescue! ;D ;D ;D
-
Both done and printed. Thank you so much Scunner. :D :D :D
-
Just for information folks, Easyjet sent me an "important information" email today notifying about the on line visas, so the airlines appears to be alerting customers to it! :)
-
This is What Monarch Emailed to us on the 10 Jan 2014:
Please be advised of the following information relating to your booking:
Manchester - Dalaman on 03OCT14
From 10 April 2014 visitors to Turkey will no longer be able to obtain a visa on arrival. If you are due to arrive after this date, you will need to purchase an entry visa online prior to travel at www.evisa.gov.tr The cost of the e-visa for Turkey is approximately 20 US Dollars per person.

We have heard noting from T.C and we booked about 6 months ago.
-
What's the problem with getting an e visa - it's a piece of cake and gives you total peace of mind.
Simple :(
-
It is as long as you know you need one
-
Glad to hear Monarch have advised some of their passengers of the need for e visas but we fly out on 29th May and have heard nothing as yet.
-
The process is very easy now At Dalaman they don't even look at the paper visa they just put your passport in the reader they have and then just stamp a page in the passport
-
Got an email today from easyjet (flying in 3 weeks) reminding me about the e-visa though it's been on their website for a while now.
Got ours a couple of weeks ago, pretty easy procedure and if it speeds things up at Dalaman so much the better! :)
-
Must remember to get ours :)
-
My neighbour went and got her new vısa today but for only 1 year ,now you have to show you have medıcal insurance ,they were ok they English cover they only come over for a few months each year ,what happens to the ex pats who live here ,now the smk ? have stopped can you get private cover.
Why do they make it so hard for foreigners to live here ,don't they want us here. >:(
-
Did my visa through the web site, really easy the instructions are clear just make sure you have the information you need at hand i.e. Passport x :)
-
It's just a shame you can't pay for more than one visa in a single payment transaction.
-
On my last post i meant residency not visa ,can you get private cover ,if so how much . : :)
-
Unfortunately
As I am considered to old to recieve a credit card here, and I don't have one in Turkey (Returned when unemployed) I can't book one on line as debit cards don't work.
-
I'm sure debit cards do work as I read somewhere there's a £1.25 charge to use one.
-
It does say at the date of arrival stage; To be paid only by Mastercard/Visa credit or debit card
-
Got my visa on line no problems.you could still get visa on arrival last week price still£10April.Delay getting through passport control dreadful.Worse coming home,so make sure you give yourself extra time on return.We arrived 2hours before flight and had to run no time for duty free straight onto plane.It was manic.

I paid with a debit card, although had problems getting the web page to accept it as I couldn't put the expiry date in. I was charged £1.25 however, and a 2.75% interest charge on top, about 34p from memory. There was no warning about this on the form, usually you get charged if you use a credit card!
-
Well I am going to probably show my ignorance here :-[ I have followed the 'link; for e-visa when I go into country/region Turkey does not come up only Turkmenistan ???
Help !!! :-[ :-[
-
https://www.evisa.gov.tr/en/
Tab down and select united Kingdom
:)
-

Turkey is the country issuing the e form, just enter United Kingdom.
-
I had no problems getting my visas online, but I was charged extra £1.25 extra per visa, as you can only do one visa application at a time.
-
Don't know if up and running yet, but it will soon be possible to do group eVisas.
http://issuu.com/ukinturkey/docs/update_on_e-visa
Jackstee, just enter your Debit Card details - they will be accepted. Just recently I did e-Visas for my friends and when asked for Credit Card details, I entered Debit Card details - everything went through fine.
-
Drr- ??? :-[ Thanks AOK and Sadler typical of me to get it a.se about face : :)
-
Just been online and got our 2 x Visa's for June's Visit.
Very Straightforward, No Problems!
-
We are travelling on June 13th for 2 weeks and then septembet 13th for 2 weeks, will one e-visa each cover us?
-
Yes it will
-
Yes.
-
got ours no problems at all!
-
I applied for ours 3 weeks ago, the system was very efficient. Beats hanging around in queue 1 for 30 minutes once a year!!
-
That's the thing. I wonder what the impact of the new process will be on the airport debacle ? Anyone had any experience yet?
-
Dalaman all went smoothly both on arrival and departure no major ques at passport control with having the new e=visas... Gatwick however complete nightmare on arrival we had to sit on the plane for around 1 and a half hours as there were not enough staff to bring steps and buses to get to the terminal lots of fed up people and so many screaming and crying young children as they had been woken by their parents to disembark only to find we could not get off the plane :(
-
I hope we get feedback on how efficient or otherwise the system will work at Dalaman. Will transfers be held up because of people experiencing difficulty obtaining their visa's at the airport on arrival ? Elderly people and people with young children will no doubt get frazzled by all of it as no doubt some people who are tired or the worse for that wee bit extra bevy at the airport pre departure. Fun & games !
-
Ray1951 - with the greatest of respect, what difference is feedback going to make.
Arrival at Dalaman will be what it will be, as it always was :).
-
Highlander, this forum is to help, advise and keep people informed so feedback on the situation at Dalaman is "a matter of interest" to SOME people. Personally, I'm not interested in people's birthday "do's" at certain restaurants BUT it is of interest to some people.

Whereas 5 years solid of complaining about Thomas Cook and Travel Republic is riveting stuff :D
-
Just wonder have situation where we are coming out in 2 weeks time back again in July than again in October , within this time my passport will expire and need reissued for the October trip as won't have 6 months validity at that time..... The e visa I applied for will show current passport issue and expiry , but by rights the visa should cover me for all the trips....... Looked on e visa website for Q&A but doesn't seem to cover this one....., any ideas. diana
-
I thought I saw something that you could take your old passport with the visa, and then also present your new one. I could be wrong though!
-
Forgive my ignorance on this subject but do I have to fill in parents names on the e visa application thanks in advance Morgan
-
From memory, father's name only.
-
I did my husband's and daughter's this week and had to put both father and mother's names.
Was a doddle though - ten minutes to do, pay for and print off. :)
-
Thank you so much,the problem I have is that daughter has a different surname to me ( her mum) and i. have been concerned the powers that be might have something to say as we don't see her dad ever ( very long story) incidentally I have taken her to turkey 5 times now and never had a problem,was asked on return to manchester what our relationship was but they were satisfied I was her mum.
-
Forgive me raygans but what exactly is the problem.
You fill in your parents surnames and your daughter fills in her parents surnames.
A similar situation would apply if you were travelling with any other female relative for example neice or daughter-in-law
-
It seems in Turkey you need your parent's name for everything. When I lost my watch and had to go to the Police Station. I filled in a form which asked me my parents name and even my Mother's maiden name.
-
The concern I have Highlander is that myself and my daughter have different surnames and I have since changed my name again so it is a different name that is on my daughters birth certificate,I'm sorry if I'm not making sense here. So am I right in thinking that I just put my old name in the box marked mothers name or my new name that is on my passport? Any advice I get will be gratefully received or would I be better off ringing the help number on the e visa web page? And Jacqui yes are most definately right it seems family names are needed for everything.
-
raygans - I am afraid I do not know the answer here.
I may well be wrong but it seems to me, simplistically, that there are two people travelling at the same time each who have complied with the regulations and applied for a visa independently. I cannot see why the relationship between the two people is relevant.
Brenda and I filled in different parent's surnames.
Someone will tell me if I am over simplifying things here.
-
Don't many daughters have a different surname to the mother?
-
I spose daughters do have different surnames when they grow up n get married but she's only 11 lol
-
I see - I guess you won't be the first, I doubt it would cause any future issue :)
-
I really don't think it will matter. The parents' names are not on the e-visa that you print out to show on arrival in Turkey.
My husband has a different surname to his mother, whose current surname is different to her maiden name.
My surname is different to both my late parents, due to various marriages and divorces.
Not caused a problem with anything I've had to register for so far. :)
-
I was lead to believe that when dealing with bureaucracy in Turkey it's usually the parent's first name that's asked for. The surname is usually irrelevant because it harks back to pre-1923 when Turks didn't have them.
In the UK the name-check against records is by date of birth, in Turkey it's by parent's first name.
-
Yes it is first name they ask for. Yesterday at Dalaman they didn't even want to see the visa, as it shows up when your passport is scanned.
-
Thank you all so much for your replies I feel much better now
