All Change for Turkey visa’s

With the American visas going electronic a few years back, it was not long before other counties followed suit. You guessed it: Turkey as of the 10th April 2014 are no longer allowing British citizens to purchase there entrance visas when they jump off the plane. You now need to purchase them before you travel. except for cruise ship passengers with ‘British Citizen’ passports entering the country for a day trip, remaining in the port of embarkation and returning to the ship the same day. Turkish visit visas issued on arrival are valid for multiple stays up to a maximum of 90 days in a 180 day period. Up to 31 January 2012, the Turkish immigration authorities operated a flexible interpretation of this requirement whereby visitors could leave after 90 days, and immediately re-enter for a further 90 day period. The rules are now fully enforced, and you will only be able to stay in Turkey for a total of 90 days in any period of 180 days.
