"This is why I think that the compromise should be a vast reduction in the residency costs to move people from island hops to legal residential status. Maybe even to scrap the fee altogether, or just charge for the book."

Tourist visa 1 month, Single entry. £10.
Visitors visa 3 month. Multiple entry.£30/£40. Renewable(eg Meis)
Residency permit £200.

Now all I have to do is get elected Prime Minister of Turley.

I totally agree with you amca. To be fairer to all, a residency fee should be applicable to all who purchase property in Turkey, BUT it should be low enough to enable property owners ie. retired folk, to be able to pop over to Turkey whenever they like. A lower residency fee would enable everyone the choice of residency if they wish, or if they only visit occasionally, or stay in hotels etc, and nobody would then be breaking the law, if that's what many of us have been inadvertently doing. If it is NOT about money, then reducing the residency fee will do the trick, and keep the tourism business going too.

Back from Meis today with the old 90 day visa?
Please read article in www.turkishlocalnews.com which has delved into the problem.
I appologise if this has already been mentioned in the previous 24 pages. I do nove the time to read as it is eating into valuable visa time.

Yes, you will be able to get the 90 day visa up to the 9th October, but then possibly not be allowed back into the country for 3 months on your next trip. So I would pack a bag next time to take with you to the UK.:

Thankyou Diverbaz.

I think your interpretation needs official clarification.

Does anyone know if the Meis visa door will be closed soon, or is that option always going to be open.

The difficulty I feel is going to be the amount of residency applications all coming in at the same time, and rather difficult if you are stranded in the UK or elsewhere.

The delays at passport control on the inspection of the 180 day visa, to ensure that the new rules are being adhered to will I feel cause a great deal of delay/irritation to waiting holiday makers/residents.

They could always introduce a law that ensures you have to travel in flip flops there will then be an abundance of fingers and toes for the passport police to count on.

Regarding checks at Dalaman and other airports - passports are electronically scanned on arrival so visa dates should show up very quickly.

[Scunner]

Yes but one thing that doesn't show up at all is your intended departure date. Without this there are very few relevant calculations that can be done.

[Jim Fraser]

Agreed it does nothing to help the individual know the important visa dates - but my reply was in answer to the possible delay at passport control.
