�10 charge

[big H]

Is it only British holiday makers who get charged a tenner when entering Turkey ? And if so , does anyone know why ?

Hi I just came back on Tuesday from Marmaris. Most countries get charged, it's different prices depending on where you are from, I think its 15 euros for EU countires and �10 for the UK. This is for a 90 day visa to enter the country. So if you go this month for a week then go again within the 90 days, you wouldnt have to pay again. Just hand over your �10 note with your passport and they stamp it.

most people have to pay not just us brits the only people that get away with not being charged are the germans dont no why but anyway its only a tenner and you have a fab time in turkey anyway so to me it doesnt matter

Basically, the reason you pay is for an entry visa which is valid for 90 days (you can enter and leave as many times as you like within those 90 days!). How much each countries residents pay depends on how much that country charges for Turkish residents to get visas from them. The cost for a Turk to come here is much more than the �10 we pay to go there and the process is much more involved - even for a holiday visa.

Danish people dont have to pay. This is new for me that people have to pay enterıng Turkey. When i see other people in aitport from other countries i never see them pay.
