visa

I suspect you may well be right, and in the not too distant future there wil be a huge number of expats seeking residency. I just hope the authorities will have the infrastructure in place to handle the rush

Wasn't the explanation that the 90 in 180 day visa is one handed out to other nations, and whoever was on visa stamp duty simply ran out of the normal ones for British arrivers?

Someone said they were for Russian tourists, if they were would they not be written in Russian and not English?

I've just done the Rhodes run, visa is same as it's always been - Rhodes was cheaper than i expected, most restaurants charging 2 euros for a large beer :-)

Russian tourists dont need one mark,they are on free entry (they are building a power station for turkey).Very few countries east of turkey now need a visa all the way from syria up to Russia.No prizes for guessing where large numbers of muslims live.Also Indonesia is now on a free entry no visa situation.With the exception of germany every country west of turkey seems to be paying for the visas.

i think your being a bit harsh there mate...of the top of my head i dont think french and new zealand pay for visas and its a tit for tat situation based on what countries charge turkey for visa entry.

Italians dont pay, czechs dont pay amongst many others that dont pay. Being a muslim country has nothing to do with it.
When Britain stops charging Turks for visas then brits wouldnt have to pay for a visa.

Have a read of this it seems to be true about 90 days in & 90 days out,but it does say they are seeking official clarification.
