Aussie One Posted May 6, 2016 #1 Share Posted May 6, 2016 When printing Turkey E Visa is it in colour ? is it ok to print in Black and White thank you Aussie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
someotherguy Posted May 7, 2016 #2 Share Posted May 7, 2016 I accidentally left my printout in my checked bag, so I showed the immigration officer a display of the pdf on my smartphone and he was cool with that. I think they just need the number. I'm sure B&W would be OK: all the info is B&W, only the logo is in color. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kkyykk Posted May 11, 2016 #4 Share Posted May 11, 2016 When printing Turkey E Visa is it in colour ? is it ok to print in Black and White thank you Aussie I'm in Turkey right now and my girlfriend and I entered with e-visa, she with black and white printout and me by showing it on my smartphone. We were both let in immediately after passport check. Our entry date was few days ago on May 6. So choose your method - no issues at all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccgns Posted May 16, 2016 #5 Share Posted May 16, 2016 So do we still need a visa if we are coming into Istanbul on the cruise ship and flying out of Istanbul all on the same day? :confused: Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare John Bull Posted May 16, 2016 #6 Share Posted May 16, 2016 So do we still need a visa if we are coming into Istanbul on the cruise ship and flying out of Istanbul all on the same day? :confused: Thanks Yes. The no-visa exemption for cruise passengers is only for those arriving & leaving (within 72 hours) by ship. You need a visa to fly in or out.

One in Kusadasi and the other in Mamaris. We leave the same day we arrive. Does that qualify us for a no-visa-exception? Many thanks for your help.

Howard in Sunny and warm, Ft. lauderdale Hi Howard, You don't need visas for day-visits to ports-of-call in Turkey. :) Or even for overniting aboard the ship in port. Only needed for stays of over 72 hours, or if you join or end a cruise in a Turkish port. No worries JB :) Edited May 20, 2016 by John Bull Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
someotherguy Posted May 26, 2016 #10 Share Posted May 26, 2016 I went through Turkish immigration at IST yesterday. The officer didn't even look at my visa printout. By the way, if you arrive in business class or are StarAlliance Gold, go past the regular immigration lines and there's a special one (next to the diplomats line) that is much faster. They do check check credentials for entry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare John Bull Posted May 26, 2016 #11 Share Posted May 26, 2016 (edited) I went through Turkish immigration at IST yesterday. The officer didn't even look at my visa printout. That's the same as entering the USA on an ESTA visa-waiver. When immigration scan your passport it will flag up whether your e-visa/waiver is in order. So in theory you don't need to carry it. But if like me you're a dinosaur & have little faith in technology you'll carry your copy. ;) JB :) Edited May 26, 2016 by John Bull Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare John Bull Posted June 15, 2016 #13 Share Posted June 15, 2016 One of the biggest rip-offs going.Enough to keep me away from Turkey when they need it most The cost of a Turkish visa for Brits is $20, little more than an ESTA to enter the US, and the same rule applies - required even if sailing in / out same-day. For Canadians the visa fee is a hefty $60 because Canada charges Turks far more for a Canadian visa. Tit for tat JB :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wheezedr Posted June 15, 2016 #14 Share Posted June 15, 2016 One of the biggest rip-offs going.Enough to keep me away from Turkey when they need it most As John Bull points out it is the world of reciprocals.

Do not take it personally.I don't question any country's right to set their own entry requirements and visa fees in any way they wish, but reciprocity is not the only diplomatic principle being applied here. It's not any easier or cheaper for a Turkish tourist to visit the USA vs. Canada (it costs them a lot in both cases), and yet Turkey only charges Americans $20 for an e-visa, vs. $60 for Canadians. As a Canadian, I would find it hard not to take this personally, obviously not on an individual level, but (for whatever reason) Turkey's visa policy is clearly less welcoming to Canadian tourists.

The fee is actually called a reciprocity fee and is only charged to Aussies and Mexicans. as of a year ago, you could not pay it on line. You could only get in a long queue where a single person processed the fees for a whole Qantas plane. Over a hour in the queue. I did not so much mind the fee as much as the very unwelcoming way of having to pay it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarshecky Posted June 29, 2016 #18 Share Posted June 29, 2016 Flew into Istanbul with my minor kids and not my husband. He met us there from a business trip. Then landed in Izmir after the bombings. Now waiting to fly out of Izmir. Not once did we have to show evisas. Sent from my iPhone using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As John Bull said earlier in this thread, your e-visa information pops up when they scan your passports. But there is a danger in the immediate aftermath of an attack that security protocols get disrupted and more attackers can try to take advantage of this to slip through.
