Turkey Holidays - Useful Information
General Information
Passport and Visas
A full British passport is required for Turkey and must be valid for six months after returning from your holiday. All visitors to Turkey are required to pay a visa fee at the airport on arrival. At the time of going to print, the fee is £10 per person including infants for UK passport holders, payable in sterling. Scottish notes are not acceptable. Please have the correct money ready.
Non UK passport holders are advised to contact the appropriate Embassy in London as to their visa fee. We advise you to take a photocopy of the page in your passport which bears your photograph and personal details. This will make it a lot easier to get travel documents from the British Consulate in the event of you losing your passport. For the latest up to date information on travelling abroad you can visit the following website: Foreign & Commonwealth Office - www.fco.gov.uk
Please note: - Children and babies if not already on a parents 10 year passport must have their own passport. Children on parent's passport on reaching the age of 16 years must have their own passport. It is wise for newly married couples to make sure flight tickets are booked in the same names that appear on their passports at time of departure. From October 2006 all first-time applicants for a UK passport who were over the age of 16 were required to attend an interview. This means that the application process will take longer. If you are 16 years old or over and haven't yet got a passport, our recommendation is that you should apply for one at least six weeks before your holiday.
