visa

[BM06]

my wife has a visa stamp 90/180 over this is a printed stamp saying, multi entry visa valid for 90 days, which i presumed canceled the 90/180 bit, which was confirmed by starman in an earlier post, and i think Stuart's post has got to be spot on there would have been more publicity. for a bit of POM the Turkish embassy site in the UK has no mention of it, and i spoke to the UK embassy in Ankara on Friday and they did not no what i was on about.

I am not sure anything more can be added to the posts on this.The wife has spoken to" Late breaks", ie Meis Express,who in turn spoke to the passport police at kas.The short answer is they know nothing of any changes to the Visa.But this is not unusual in politics, particularly in Turkey. So we have to wait and see.But anyone who is close to a visa run might be well advised to get a new one while you can.That would give you six months if you are counting the 90 days you would get on the newer stamp next time.

I came to Turkey (arriving at Dalaman airport) on 28th May 2010 and was issued the 90/180 days visa. I didn't even notice until a couple of days ago I automatically assumed I was issued the usual 90 day visa glad I checked my passport! Thats when I started searching around online for some information and to be honest I'm even more confused as some people have been saying they are getting these new visas, and some are saying they are still getting the old ones. I am returning to Turkey in a couple of days (1st July) so will have to see what happens when I arrive. I am hoping these 90/180 visas are some sort of mistake. If anyone has anymore information they could give it would be greatly appreciated!

Have checked my passport. Some stamps are marked in Euros, some pounds and one in dollars. All cost me the normal 10 pounds.

Is there still no definitive info on these new visas?

I am a member of 3 different forums and its incredible that no one can get any definite info on this matter.

I have had contact with Irish and Turkish consulates and they know nothing. Its bloody frustrating!!!!

Got confirmation from the passport police.
It is all a load of tosh. They might have run out of stamps and used other ones but the tourist visa rule remains the same as it has always been for the last few years.

My sister in law flew in ysterday into Istanbul and she got a normal 90 day visa. No 180 day thing. As stated before, there is NO change in the entry rules at all.

Even though no changes have been made, it does beg the question as to why these stamps have been printed in the first place if there is no intention of using them. Or did the authorities just have new dies etc made and stamps printed for fun?

No changes yet, but I bet there is something in the pipeline. This is not just one man deciding to print a new stamp, this will have been a commitee of some sort working out the design and deciding when to implement the changes etc etc.

Time will tell!!!!!
