visa

[kenkay]

I have been told tonight that due to the fact that it only applied to 3 airports and after intervention by the British Consulate it has been deemed as illegal and dropped. ALLEGEDLY:D

and here is the Fethiye Times version of things..

quote:We were told verbally that the visa rules have changed and, as the wording says, people are now free to visit for up to 90 days in any 180 days.

As I said yesterday, they were told nothing about renewing after the 90 days, just that "real" tourists have 180 days to use their 90 days. Everything stated after that in FT is their take on it.

Someone needs to ask the authorities the specfic question "can the  visa be renewed once the 90 days are used?" and before someone says why don't I do it, I'm on residency, let someone who it affects do it.

Surely the message is no,once your 90 days is up you have to leave for 90 days.

I did forget to say the price for 1 year visa is 430 gbp isn't it funny they put up the prices for pertmit recently prob knowing this was going to happen.

so in theory then, you could come for a week, then return for the last 83 days of your visa and then get a new one, effectively giving you a 173  day stay?

so reading that H it would seem that if a person came on holiday at easter for two weeks they could then come back in the summer so long as they were within the 180 days from the start of the visa entry date. is that correct as if so thats fine for me although I see the queques getting through airport system will lenghten. what a waste of time. if the turks want or need extra cash in they should sack a few/ or alot government people.

I would just like to say that I have just been on the Antalya consulate website the price for a year Residence permit is 370 pounds unless of course Vonny is taking into account the etc such as photo copies photos etc.

I don't think so - you can only stay 90 days in any 180  and then would not be allowed a new visa until a further 90 days have passed. Within the 180 days you could come and go as many times as you like until you have used up 90 days.

That's how I read it anyway.

Good for the 'two weekers' twice a year but not for those living there on tourist visas.
