Bristolhibby Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 If your transitting at all in Turkey with any sort if stopover you need a Turkish one!!! Really? I'm staying airside and no mention of a visa. Not sure why there would be. Not actually clearing immigration. Always remember the mad dash at some ungodly time arriving in Turkey on holiday, dashing to get the sticker, then joining another line to clear immigration.

Jagtag Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 If your transitting at all in Turkey with any sort iof stopover you need a Turkish one!!! I went to Skopje via Istanbul and didn't need a visa to change flights there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deecie Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 Turkish visa is very easy. Fill in an online form, give them $10 and its issued on the spot. Azerbaijan less so. My passport photo was rejected for being a 'selfie'. It also cost 80 and hasn't arrived in the fortnight since applying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wanderer Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 Sure it was mentioned on here a while back that the system has changed recently and it's more in line with the Yanks system of all done online and prepaid before you set off for Turkey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoonTheSlope Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 I've got a 5 hour stopover in Turkey on the Asian side and wondered how long it would take to get through passport/visa procedure as i wouldn't mind a wee bus trip into the centre then back again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like popping into London from Gatwick. I'd be clock watching wanting to head back the minute I got into the city, also is all the cultural stuff (blue mosque, grand bazar) not the European side of the Bosphrous?

J Not got a clue tbh, I just fancy having a wander about Asia!! What flight are you on into Tbilisi??

DeeRus Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 If you are a transit passenger then no visa required. If going landside then you must apply online for your visa - dead easy to do and confirmed instantly. Is valid something like up to 180 days from the date of application/issuance, so you can complete it anytime from now and you'll be covered Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mariokempes56 Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 Istanbul is 1 huge and 2 pretty mental to get around. So unless you have loads of time plan it well. Amazing city but a couple of hours isn't a lot. Just my view from bing there on work a few years back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bristolhibby Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 (edited) Not got a clue tbh, I just fancy having a wander about Asia!! What flight are you on into Tbilisi?? We are on the 23:00 on Wednesday the 2nd arriving at 3:05We are on the 18:50 getting into Tblisi 22:05. Sounds like you are on the same 11:50 flight from Gatwick as us If you have 5 hours to kill.Word of warning, if it's anything like Marmaris airport the airside "refreshments" is frighteningly expensive. Think £5 for a Coke! J Edited June 27, 2015 by Bristolhibby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irnbruman Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 I forgot about Turkish Visa. Did one last year when on holiday. Ive got a day in Istanbul. Arrive at seven pm from London on Tuesday 1st. Then plane to Tbilisi next day round about sevenish in evening. £14 on booking .com for what looks like ok hotel in decent area. Wee bit of sightseeing to be done.

Hopefully there'll be something close by to do for a few hours as We have a 5or6 hour wait on the Sunday at Gatwick so don't want to spend any more time than we have to just kicking about airports Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willie Miller's tache Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 I've got a 5 hour stopover in Turkey on the Asian side and wondered how long it would take to get through passport/visa procedure as i wouldn't mind a wee bus trip into the centre then back again With a 5 hour stopover, I think you would be looking to head straight back to the airport as soon as you got into town at best, I'm afraid. Huge city, traffic can be mental and as the previous poster said, all the sites are on the European side of the Bosphorus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
