Will I have problems with our visas ??

[clooneyrooney]

Hello
I am in need of some advice .... My family and I went to Kalkan for 1 weeks holiday on Monday 25th May. We purchased our visa (which is valid for 90 days)
We are due to go back to Kalkan between 7th and 21st August which means we will be travelling back to the UK on day 89 of our visa.

Last year I remember a lady at the airport having a problem with the officials at Dalaman airport because she was going to be travelling back on the day that her visa expired. She tried to prove that she had return flight tickets and would be travelling back within the 90 day period but they said "You are in Turkey now .... You need to pay for another visa"

Has enyone else had this problem or do you think we might have a problem???

Many thanks

Visa valid for 90 days including arrival and departure days. Count very carefully!!!

I''ve come through passport control on multiple entry on one visa lots of times and although I''ve been met with raised eyebrows and occasional careful counting of days, there''s never been a problem with the fact I''ve timed it right up to day 90. The only problem I had once was when I had a return flight booked 2 days after the visa expired - I got turned away and had to join the long visa queue!

a few years ago our flight was held up by a family who''s visa has expired by a day. husband, wife and two small children. they had to pay £100 each as a penalty.! they were told it would be a £100 a day that they had gone over! be very careful

Many thanks for all your replies. I have checked and doubled checked and we will definitely return home on day 89 of our visa. Just hope I don''t feel intimidated at Dalaman airport into buying 4 more visas when we don''t really need them.
58 more sleeps to go before we''re back in Kalkan !!!
