Title: e visa
Post by: Anne on September 15, 2016, 07:03:32 PM: My son is going to Kalkan next week, having been there in July so his evisa is still valid, however he has lost the email with his e visa and is worried he will have a problem at passport control. I thought that when you showed your passport the e visa was on their system. Has anyone traveled through Dalaman without a copy of their current evisa and was it a problem?

Many thanks

Never had to show a hard copy. It isn't an e visa for nothing!!!

I didn't think about the visa and neither did the lady in front of us as we'd obviously both put the next day as the start date as we should have been landing in the early hours. Fortunately the immigration officer allowed us through after checking the visa but we were illegal for a few hours.

I've continued to have one printed with me 'just in case'. And I think in theory you should carry it with you (bit like your passport or copy thereof) when out & about for confirmation of identity & official approval of being in the country.

If you wanted another copy you may be able to go back on the e-visa website & re-download it.

Since the attempted coup and turkey is in a 'state of emergency' they are advising we have copies of visa and passport on us at all times just in case we get stopped and asked for it?
