Philrose...i was speaking to someone today who said exactly the same thing...they bought a 1 year visa..on arrival at Dalaman had to buy a 90 day visa as the 1 year one "wasnt worth the paper it was written on " ...this was 5 years ago.

I take  three holidays in Calis between 1st May and mid October which is 176 days. If I take a total maximum of 12 weeks, 84 days, am I going to be affected [?] I normally do May and July on one visa then get another in September. Puzzled Ken

We either all know someone or the same person:D  the one I know got their visa from London, they didn't realise that they were sold a "single entry visa" hence on their return had to purchase a new visa before heading down the residency route. (Caveat emptor).

It isn't just about the 1- 5 years residency if you are actually living here for good and you know Turkey is your home but lots of people have enjoyed coming to their holiday homes for a few months in the year, these people are not residents but could now find it difficult to come over whenever they wanted.  And everyones situation differs from the amount of time they spend here and may be effected finanically with these new rules!

Nothing in the new rules(assuming what we know is correct) will stop home owners from staying a few months a year and coming and going within their limits. They have based this on 360 days (one year give or take a day or two). 180 days is 6 months and in those two periods you can stay a maximum of 90 days per period (90x2 = 180 days = 6 months).

I agree it might cause a problem for those who want to stay for say May June July and August as this would mean they would have to leave the country sometime in July or early August as they would have used up their 90 days. If the rules are as we think they would not be allowed back until their 180 days have passed which would be October sometime.

In my view a better method would have been to have each year as a stand alone 365 days and no matter when you first arrive you have a maximum of 180 days before you have to leave - but it must be before the end of that calendar year.



RUBBISH

That's rich for someone who thinks this is all the result of 'Efes chit chat'

Wake up and smell the coffee - you will need to get residency if you want to stay longer than 90 days in 180.


oh - and this is how to reply using the quote system

Hi I am a new member and regularly visit for extended stays.
Little confused by all the discussion on the subject of Visas. The new visa is pretty clear- stay 90 days in 180 from the day of entry. after this you leave and can only come back on the 181st day.
Reverse the situation and think of a Turkish visitor to the UK, would we want them to be able to stay for as long as they like by just going to a non EU country for the day say Jersey and renewing their visa for another 3 months. If you want to stay as a resident to a country you must expect to have to pay the price for residency. If we do this then we can legally apply for other benifits such as a telephone, TV, Car etc, after all we are guests in Turkey and should work within the framework of their laws.
I will simply plan my holidays around the time I am allowed and make the best of the time i have in thi great country.

Ive just returned from turkey and have read the legal document regarding the new visas its 90days in 90days out 180days be careful not to over stay as there are various fines and three month bans if you dont get things right when coming and going to and from turkey.It does not affect us holiday home owners but its really taken affect on alot of people who now have to leave turkey due to finances.
