Icmeler Online Holiday Forum & Reviews - Turkey

hi there, does anybody know how long does your passport need to be valid for, when going to turkey? is it 6 months or 6 weeks after you return from turkey?
and is the visa situation the same as always, just pay £10 and get a sticker?

Salkk, your passport must have a 6 month validity on it when travelling, and yes the £10 visa has to be paid upon entering turkey

Hope this helps.

and if you are due to get a renewal on your passport please be aware of the hefty charge of £66.00!! Seems to have gone up lots!

wow £66!!! just trying to work it out now,,, if we go on the 22nd of june for 14days, and the passports run out on 16 jan 2008. I think we should be ok by a week or so. shouldnt we? thanks

we went to turkey in october last year my passport expired on 27 jan this year and no one mentioned anything to me was i just lucky

Glad I read this thread now, mine runs out July this year and I go to Icmeler on 4th June so really need to get it sorted OOOPPPPSSSS

Well, I went online and you can complete your form on there if it is for a renewal, they check it and send it to you in the post and all you have to do is sign and return with photos. Saves filling out the 6-7 pages you get from the post office

it's a ridiculous amount of money for a passport. i just had to spend that amount to get mine renewed. i still had 4 years left on my original passport, but because i got married last year, i had to pay for a new 10 year passport. plus they charged me £3.00 for recorded delivery to send my marriage certificate back!

I know, I had to get my daugthers last year which is £45 for a 5 year one and now mine has expired which is going to gost me another £66 - its highway robbery!!
