so if i come to Turkey for a month get a visa stay 1 month ,go to the tropics for a week return for 2 months spend Christmas in Honolulu ,i have to get a new visa when i return whats difficult about that ,Visa Las Vagus ,huh,huh.

as I read this you will not be returning as you have used your 90 allocated visa out of a 180 day.  
You can only come as a tourist for 90 out of 180, (3 months out of six), YOU arrive in September(23rd)/October, stay a month, go to the tropics for a week in October return (31st) for 2months to Turkey for Christmas (December 29th used up all 90days), then swan off to Honululu, now that is the problem unless you are staying in Honululu for 3 months to enable to return to Turkey,  as you have used up your allowance of 90 permitted days out of 180 days, therefore, see you in March/April.

Now you can see the problem?

Does anyone know, or have access to a list of any other countries affected by this change in visa requirements? Or is it only for the British, and if so, isn't that discriminatory, and why?
Reason I ask, is to clarify how it would affect people of other nationalities, married to a British citizen, but travelling together as a couple for their holidays, on their individual national  passports...[?]

Why is it discriminatory? If it is the British only who are using the tourist visa system to get round purchasing residency, then it is in direct reaction to that. I'm not aware of any other nationality doing this in any great numbers.

Apparently the British Consulate in Fethiye know nothing about any visa changes for the British and at present it is still as it has always been!

No surprise there then

Just another thought on this, many many people do not read this forum or any other, they will possibly not know anything about this and go on their visa run in October, only to be told when they return that they cannot enter Turkey for 90 days. I would say please pass the word on to any expat you know, so the info can be passed around before the 10th October and then there will be no surprises for anybody.

Many people don't read this forum Baz. I think "many many" is an exaggeration.

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.

wrong
this applies to Ireland too

oh sorry didnt realise there are loads of irish living here......what about germany then eh?

I often repeat myself, I say, I often repeat myself:D

On the embassy note, I copied this from another forum, where many many people have read it:D


In response to a query regarding the 90 days in 180 days visa, this is a quote received today, 15th July, from Deniz Kiymaz (Consular Assistant) at The British Consulate in Izmir:

"I contacted passport police at Izmir Airport regarding your query. They confirmed that the regulation has been slightly changed for visitors inline with European immigration laws. You can only stay in Turkey for a total of 90 days in a period of 180 days. If you use your 90 days at one time then you cannot re-enter Turkey for another 90 days. If you are planning to spend more than 90 days in 180 days in Turkey, you need to apply for residency permit at nearest Foreigner's Police department."
