Is it true that you have to get an E-Visa before we leave the UK, this is to replace paying £10 when we land a Dalaman Airport.

Thank you Hobbo you confirmed my suspicions. >:D

LancashireLass I think I have counted right we have just under 21 weeks to go
;D lynne

Lynne T I think you are right its v early Monday morning and just done a quick count before heading off to work. June seems such a long time off 21 weeks does not sound too bad.

Yeah!!! June as well!! Here is the link if you need it for your visa application www.evisa.gov.tr
lets hope we have roads to walk on!!... if someone piled up granite blocks by our bus station they would have gone by now and lots of people would have new granite drives!! >:D
-
June for us too! Thanks for the link for the e-visa :)

Thank you Blue Lizard for the link x

June for us too :)
Hope to see at least three England games before being beset by disappointment once again....although England's first match v Italy is at the ungodly hour of 1am Kalkan time.....slightly better than the original kick-off time which would have seen bars open at 6am or in the case of Moonlight just stay open from the night before :o
Evisas all round...

Thank you for your post Kalkan4eva, I was going to ask about the football as 3 of our group, especially, my partner, (me being the minority, I don't mind watching England but i draw the line at Togo vs Outer Mongolia) will be wanting to watch The World Cup and I was going to place a post at a later stage as to where to watch it, especially as it will be at a time thats well past my bed time lol. My other half seemed to think that it would be about 4am.

Thank you for the link Blue Lizard, is it still £10 and can we do it now or do we have to wait till nearer the time

Hi Lynne T,
Someone from work is due to go to Marmaris in May and when he tried he was advised that the visa is only valid for three months so wait nearer the time and I think he said it came to £12.00
I hope this helps and if I have been advised wrong then please correct me.

the evisa costs $20 (approx £12)
it lasts for 180days (multi entry over the 180 days but you can only stay a total of 90 days during the 180)
you can select an arrival date when applying, the 180 days then starts from the arrival date. (note however the arrival date calendar only shows the next 3 months)
So if you apply today (Jan 21st) you can select April 20th arrival and the visa is valid for a stays totalling upto 90 days arriving on or after April 20th and leaving before Oct 17th
-
Hi Hobbo,
That is a very helpful explanation.We are going on April 27th,so I guess from January 28th,we will be able to enter April 27th as our arrival date ??
-
yes that way you will maximise the life of the visa, you could get it starting earlier but obviously the 180 days would be up sooner. It all depends on how many trips you plan to make and when.. I'm not sure if the evisa system allows you to apply for a second visa before the 1st runs out.. so if you were planning to go back to Turkey on say the 20th Oct for a week it might be an issue, as 28/4 +180 days the visa would run out during the Oct visit... in this case you might be better starting the 180 days earlier so that there would be no problems applying for a 2nd visa to cover the Oct trip..
-
Hi Hobbo,
Yes, again its good advice.Apart from our april/may trip,we will be going late june and then going around 15th October until the end of the month,and as you say,the visa will run out mid trip,in October
We have always got our 2nd visa from the airport before,as everyone else has done.Now,due to getting it online,as you say there may be a little bit of crossover and confusion.
Better to set the date of arrival much earlier so that it expires much earlier than October and then less likely to create confusion,when I re apply for a new visa to cover the October trip
One question Hobbo..............Is it " the date of arrival " you have to state........or is it "the date that you wish the visa to run from "??
If it is "the date of arrival "that you have to state.........Is this the date you have to arrive,ie 27th april in my case.
I can see the virtue in starting the visa in February or march as either would cover the april and june trips,and the visas would then run out around august/September time...........plenty early enough to re apply for the October trip ( with no confusing crossover )
Help sort out my confusion,Hobbo !!
-
My assumption is that it is "the date that you wish the visa to run from " which in normal circumstances would be the same as arrival date, however if you do visit early and late season you may want to manage it to avoid possible issues. It may be possible to have two e-visas overlapping who knows...??
-
Thanks Hobbo.Lets have a go and see !! Thankyou for your help and advice.

Thank you everyone for your help and advice.

Lancashire Lass, here is the link for the fixtures which are all BST.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/world-cup/fixtures
England's first game was originally going to be at 4am on 15th June but the fixture has been re-arranged as both sides are European and this isn't the friendliest time for a game to be shown. Remember that was 4am BST, which would make it 6am Kalkan time :(
This game has been brought forward to 11pm on 14th - 1am Kalkan time.
The next two games are at the respectable (Kalkan) times of 10pm and 7pm so I would suggest your group park themselves in bar somewhere an hour or so before to get a good spec....if previous years are anything to go by, the bars will be heaving.
