visa

[SteveJ]

"The crucial question is, what happens once you have used all 90 days in 180. Can you not come back for 90 days or can you buy a new 90 days in 180 visa"

If you spend your 90th day on the day before your 180 day visa runs out then you only have to wait 1 day before you can get another visa. If you use up the 90 days in the first 90 days of the 180 then yes -you have to wait another 90 days.

simples (I think)

BM06 - it is good news for those of us who holiday in May and September as it will save us £10 each. In your previous post you said "you can renew your visa after your stay of 90 days in one block" I don't believe that this is the case.

I have just phoned Carole & Tayfun regarding the visas.The representative informed me that they are not doing the Maes trips anymore.
Must say that the rules on this are very ambiguous, especially as there has been no information given via the newspapers.

Another scenario to ponder, someone arrives for a couple of weeks holiday on the 28th June. They want to come back for Xmas 0n 18th December.
180 days are up on 25th December - does thay mean they have to go to Meis on Xmas day??

Or will there be some leeway as they can see that the person is a genuine tourist and grant them another visa?

It may even affect the housing market to foreigners (although its already bad enough) as some may not wish to buy in a country where they will be so restricted in comming to their holiday home

[SteveJ]

Pasha - In your example they will have to plan the dates of their summer holiday by counting 180 days backward from the last day of their Christmas holiday and start their summer holiday on whatever date that is(i.e. after June 28th)

or they could just blag it on their way out at the airport.   What could the Turkish Authorities do, deport them?

[saoirse]

the Turkish authorities really do specialise in shooting themselves in the foot

I mean such restrictions will just mean many people will simply have to plan more and spend less time (and money) in their country. Absolute daft way to go about things

This person has already booked both dates.

I'm pretty sure that if the visa only has a few days left (and not gone over the 90 day limit) they will ask you how long you are staying and grant a new visa - as they do now.

Pasha -  I suspect that they will have to buy a new 180 day visa on 18th December because their last day in Turkey will be not be covered by their existing (starting on 28 June) visa.

Hopefully things will be clearer by December  ;)At the moment we are all trying to best guess what the new rule means for us, tourists and residents alike.
