visa

[tribalelder]

Went on a trip to Meis today not requiring a visa until next month but was advised to actually renew it today as the 90 day visa is being replaced by the 90/180 day system and it would not be possible to renew if I waited until the due date in August. We were also given a petition in Turkish and with an English tranlation to petition our embassies against this new system which seemingly does not apply to all countries and therefore discrimiates.

Brian have you seen busybee post under the heading, Well its finally over? because it seems she was told something completely different today?

How to add even more grist to the confusion mill.

Please.... can anyone subscribing to this topic who actually have access to one of these new 90 / 180 day visa stamps which is overprinted with a rubber stamp look carefully at the overprinting.

I have been shown two examples by a neighbour.
Both " overprints "are identical, in that:-

Neither says Valid

Neither says Void.

They both say Volid.

The second letter of this debatable word is definitely an o, if you compare it with the rest of the overprint typeface.

So is everthing clear now:(

you can no longer live in turkey on a visa. You are only allowed to live in the country for up to 3 months per year. All Brits (no other european countries have been subject to this new legislation) must buy residency permits. It has gone through Parliament and that is it. Must be the British Government. The last visa run is October 2010.

why couldnt you go in august to renew - why have you had to go now? If the last visa runs are October I dont see why you have had to bring your trip forward??

OK all other visa topics locked now so trying to get my poor brain round all this and sort out my holidays and length of stays,

"We came out on 11th May, returned 3 July =52 days.
So we were intending to return Mid September for 60days or 2 months, that means we can't as it is using more than our 38 days remaining out of 180 days, WHAT A BALLS UP!!!
Do you get the feeling we are not welcome?"

Your first 180 day period finishes on 6th November, so after this date you should be able to apply for another 90 day visa. As you have used 52 days already if you delay your visit until the end of September, your remaining 38 days should take you up to when you could leave Turkey e.g Kas to Meis, to get your 2nd 90 days worth...clear as mud or what! check this out - it might work!

Thats the whole point, the Visa run has finished 10th October (just leaving the Country is now not an option), if it was possible to to do the visa run you still had to have no less than 65 days left to qualify, therefore, if we come out on 15th September (wanted sooner rather than later) we can stay until 23rd October on our 38 days remaining out of 180.

Now assume that when we enter Turkey for example 15th September, totally unaware of this 90/180 day rule we would in our ignorance believe we could stay until 14th December, we get to the airport on 14th December to leave and are then faced with a fine for overstaying our 38days out of 180.

Now isn't that as clear as mud!

And this link, If I purchase a 5year multiple visa for £400 does this mean that my holidays are sorted for the next 5years:D[)]

[saoirse]

The whole thing is madness and will put tourists off comming-for example if I come out for 1 week mid Jan I cannot have a 3 week holiday here in July!!!! (would exceed the 180 day visa limit)
